can i chime in on this one...............
u can put anything u want in ur rolls... tuna/salmon,lobster , usually imitation, shrimp...
its very easy..... u can go to a grocery store..and in the international section u'll find sushi kits.. which include the bamboo sheet..its what u need to roll it with..
first off u need Japanese rice.aka sticky rice....... u cook it 2 parts waters, to one part rice...and add vinegar.. cook it down to sticky consistancy..and cool....
when its cooled.. lay ur nori (seaweed sheets) on ur bamboo roller (dampen the bamboo ...u dont want any splinters) then add a layer of rice...... then ur filler... cucumber, carrot..ANYTHING u want.....and cut them into long strips..so they fill up the center of the square of rice/nori.....now roll....... make sure u got some wasabi on hand?lol...i love it....
Another thing....is that unless ur buying ur fish from a seafood market who is not getting it straight in..i'd do some thinking about using tuna/salmon........... when i order tuna......i ask for sashimi grade..or sushi grade.. basically..its fresh out the water....and u can eat..not much room for bacteria growth... the fish u buy in grocery stores...has been stored and frozen...i dont trust it personally..on the flip side..imitation meats are always acceptable....
hope this helps....

Exactly! Guess I dont have to explain now LOL....Sushi is very popular here......I myself like spicy tuna or tuna rolls with wasabe and soy sauce.....California rolls are my next best choice (crab/cucmber/avacado).....
Then thers canned tuna and ume and salmon oh and lets not forget the ole SPAM roll LOL.....
