Can anyone provide me with info on where to get Sushi grade fish in Socal?
Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone had ever boughten fresh fish, sushi grade, in socal. I know of the ranch market but some times the freshness can be questionable. My girlfriend and I love sushi so I bought a basic sushi making kit and will be suprising her on Valentines day and make her request of sushi, she's spoiled. Im probably going to buy some toro, unagi, scallops, crab(easy find) and maybe some smelt egg and what not. Anyway, thanks for any tips or suggestion you can provide me with!

. I think Im going to pick up some tuna, red snapper, eel and jumpo scallops.... now i just need to find come good rice.I've tried many times to make good white rice but it never never comes out the way as it does and taste in sushi/jdm restaurants. Im going to try to pick up some from a sushi place but It probably wont keep fresh till she gets to my house...
