Rice

I made sushi last week. Went to the chink store and bought some frozen tuna. It was $20, plus the rice, vegetables and everything else, it ended up around 40 bucks to feed 3 people with six rolls, 2 for each person. Not really sure if worth it because a sushi chef adds a bunch of variety shit that I don't have. If you want to use some cheap shit go ahead. I would have rather just eaten the raw fish as sashimi, it was p.good.

>frozen tuna
>sushi
fucking why

>>8545086
The tuna is flash frozen. It causes the tuna to go into some kind of curing process.
It's actually the correct way make sushi...... of course you buy sushi from Safeway so dont know shit about shit, pleb.

Almost all fish eaten raw is frozen first. It kills parasites. Have you never seen a video of a tuna auction? If you don't know what the fuck you are talking about, why bother making yourself look stupid?

I'm actually kind of thinking about going in with a friend who lives in Finland to sell fish to the tuna auctions. I live on Cape Cod, MA and there are tuna everywhere. Basically a single fish is work about 3-5 grand to the fisherman, but can get 10x that at a tuna auction in ching chong land. My friend says he has the connects to fly the fish from MA to Singapore and get a fish to auction the next day. lots of risk but the rewards could be amazing. I could make a years salary on 4 fish.

but yeah, dude, the "fresh" tuna is packed in saltwater ice at sea and is basically frozen solid by the time it hits the dock. Then it gets the Han Solo treatment and is flash frozen and shipped.

How hard is it to catch Tuna? How expensive is the equipment needed and does the gov 'tax' or charge extra fees besides a fishing license? 3-5K for a fucking fish is a lot!

>>8545086
In Canada I'm pretty sure it's illegal to sell sushi that wasn't frozen at some point.
Something about killing parasites.

Yeah you faggots even outlawed riboflavin, folic acid, niacin, reduce iron and thiamine didn't you?

PLEBS. Enjoy your population dying of malnutrition.

Eat the poison it's good for you.
It keeps you from dying from diseases that .0000005% of the population has ever had.

its a ton of work and a lot of money for the equipment. $5k sounds like a lot, but..

100K for the boat. $2k for each rod&reel combo. $300-$500 in gas every time you run the boat. 4 guys at least on the boat splitting the take.

Shit the fishing line alone is about $1000.

Then, theres stepping up from recreational to commercial comes with a whole new list of costs, plus permits, coast guard inspections, etc.

Then there's the knowledge. I've been fishing this water for 15 years and i still only hook up one out of maybe every 3 or 4 trips. Then landing a fish you hook up with is about a 50/50 proposition.

Bottom line is, if you're doing it just to make money, a $2k payday for a fish doesn't pay the bills - so I just do it for fun. But if i have a way to turn that $2-5K to $15-30K at a sushi auction.. now we're taking about something worth quitting a regular job over and putting the time and effort into making a living.

If it were easy everyone would do it.

You can only fetch that amount of money with blue fins. Yellowfins which are fairly common fetch for a few dollars a pound and albacore is basically worthless.

Hard. And expensive. Which is why they sell for that much money.

>turn that $2-5K to $15-30K at a sushi auction
You'll need to land blue fins of high quality. Low quality fish get very little attention.

fish is on sushi, not in sushi

>what is makizushi

>>8545876
makizushi is NOT the same as sushi?
if OP meant makizushi instead of sushi, he should've said so.
