Damn I wish I saw this thread earlier. I'm a sushi chef and I could've gotten you the fish we use at our restaurant..I guess too late for that=(
You can go down to fish market in Downtown LA too but it's too late for that as well=(
Good luck buddy!

^I am going to try that. Can I still make it without a rice steamer? I think you just match 1 cup water = 1 cup rice. Does anyone know the ratio or Vinegar I would use?

Thanks so much, You guys are saving my a**

Pic Update!

So it ended up successful!!! Crazy, but succesful. Here are some pics with some illustrations.



Some of the goodies I picked up


Sushi does not exist without the following


The fish




After Baking Eel



Scallops


Now...lets just say that I was warming up on the first roll....lol..I actually sucked pretty bad at first!
Unagi Roll w/ sauce

and a not so sushi chef spicy scallop hand roll


At this point I started to understand how to roll better and apply rice.
Spicy Tuna Unagi Roll




My Spicy Scallop hand roll started comming together better


And my evil super spicy Tuna roll



So all and all, it was a very good experience. I probably will try it again, but I'll probably leave the good stuff for the pro's. All was good and didn't have to worry about stomack issues at Disneyland the next day!!



Thanks again for the suggestions on the Market and Rice!!
