Feeling lazy? Too hot to cook? Find yourself a sushi house and head over there with a few friends. Be sure to save me a seat!
Sushi can be diet-friendly. Two pieces of makimono or norimaki sushi (the kind that comes in rolls) is generally one Weight Watchers™ point, which means you can have twelve pieces of sushi for six points, one-third of the average daily Points™ allotment.
On the other hand, sushi can be a diet train-wreck. This roll pictured above is an example of the most “Americanized” type of sushi. It has fried shrimp, cream cheese and avocado in the center, and it has thinly sliced avocado on top as well as fish roe. It’s covered with mayonnaise mixed with sriracha sauce. It’s so wrong that it went back to being right.
What are your favorite kinds of sushi? Any particular types of maki or nigiri you’re into? Does your local sushi-ya do something unique that you haven’t found anywhere else? Let’s hash it out.
