Fish from market ?
finbar the real thing saunders
I asked the bloke behind the counter in my local
Supermarket (Camden, London)
Question: Do you have any sushi grade fish
Answer: This is all sushi grade fish, fresh in this morning.
I said well what about the Salmon, have you frozen it (as I
have read about that here)
Anyway look, is this true, can I just buy a piece of say
Tuna, Yellowtail, Mackerel, Squid
and fillet it, cut it nicely and serve it as sushi ?
What about ama ebi ?
Damn I tried something AMAZING the other day, it was very
small orange fish roe, (not the large gorgeous ones) on a roll
with a quails egg... wicked ;-)

I though all the roe used in sushi was the tiny orange type.
I'm talking 1 - 2 mm size, very small.
How big are thes "large gorgeous ones?"

Eating Salmon Roe is like biting into large, exploding, flavorful
salty water pellets. They are 3-4mm. I'm color blind, but I
think they're red. The tiny orange ones I would say are closer
to 1mm than 2mm. What type of fish do the orange ones come from,
anyway?
And where can you typically buy roe? There is a fish store which
specializes in sushi fish here in Arlington, Virginia. They sell
tiny 4oz jars of roe: $9 for the small orange, and $16 for the
large Salmon. $64/pound -- eek!

I don't think so. Herring roe is rather yellow, the small, orange roes
are either tobiko (flying fish) or masago (smelt/capelin) roe.

Quail egg is served with uni, but also with flying fish roe (tobiko),
smelt roe (masago), and salmon roe (ikura). In fact, any roe.

Yes they are rather crunchy, and are often used on the outside rice
part of an inside-out roll.
But the original post said "on a roll". I think he had a
gunkan-maki, regular nigiri sushi wrapped in a "belt" of seaweed to
hold unstable items like uni or roe.

If I could expand on Lori's article...The flying fish roe is called
tobikko and is small as everyone is describing. As Lori has properly
pointed out, there is a second type of roe used for sushi, and that is
smelt roe. This in Japanese terms are called ebikko/masago. The one
characteristic that distiguishes the two (besides flavor) is the tobikko
is transluscent. The ebikko is opaque. I hope I used that word
transluscent correctly, if not you guys know what I mean. Well that's
all from me...Aloha!
Enjoy,
Carl

Masago is Smelt roe.
Ebiko is Shrimp roe.

Yes, but this makes it sound like there are only two types of roe used in
sushi. There are actually several. For example, ikura, salmon roe, is
among the most common.

Also Kazunoko (Herring Roe), Tarako or Mentaiko (Cod or Pollack Roe),
Kaniko (Crab Roe), Katsubumi (Mantis Shrimp Roe), and many others I'm
sure.

Yes, my point exactly--although I didn't want to enumerate them all.
