fishy adventure

i was feeling a bit "dangerous" and adventurous tonight. so i decided it was time to fine out why everyone i know talks about how great sushi is all the time. so i found a good friend, who liked sushi, and had him take me to a sushi place here in peoria. i'll admit, i was a bit nervous at first, i mean there is a pretty huge stigma that goes along with (raw fish, in case you didn't know). first off, not all sushi is raw fish. i'd say about 50% of it was cooked. so you chose which kinds you'd like, and a couple minutes later they bring it out to you. then you take it with the chopsticks, dip it in a little bit of soy sauce, and chow down. i must admit, it was quite good. i had two types, spicy crab and spicy scallop. so in reality, i didn't even have fish, let alone raw fish. the crab was a bit disappointing in that it wasn't really spicy, but the scallop was. i was also really amazed at how filling it was. they're only about an inch or two in diameter and an inch high, but i could only eat about 10. maybe it's all the rice that's packed in there. basically though, it was good. and i intend to go get it again sometime.
