We have a local Korean grocery store that has a sushi section, replete with eating area (the latter not getting much use in the past year). Amazing selection for grocery store sushi!
@Star2236 pretty sure a heavy does of sarcasm as to the quality of grocery store/mass market sushi? Maybe?
Kroger here also has sushi and we are no where near an ocean. And I’ve never had sushi in a restaurant to compare. Or at a really good place. But there’s nothing particularly wrong that I can tell about the few times I got one from Kroger.
If walmart started doing it… Might have some questions.
@Star2236 yea. If I remember correctly krogers are done at a localish central kitchen (500 miles would only takes 10 hours. Not sure on their range) and shipped to the stores everyday. Should be low volume too.
Never had a bad one from them. But my sample size and comparison base is extremely limited. Still I’m with you kroger sushi is def not bad. Matt could have also been rejoicing that his grocer had good sushi lol.
@RiotDemon@Star2236 well I assume most we can get is but it has to be thawed to prepare and preparation and delivery speed and time left on the shelf etc. Contribute to Kroger vs 711
Never seen a grocery store with an actual sushi chef in the deli. But. I also hope to never live in a large city.
Then there are chefs who can go to local fish markets and do it fresh.

My Kroger’s has a sushi chef that prepares the sushi right there for the day, I don’t know about the fish being frozen (I only non fish sushi) but he prepares everything that goes out.
@RiotDemon@Star2236 mmm interesting. Wonder if stores like yours ship to stores like mine. I don’t think I see sushi every day. Regaurdless I don’t think that level of sushi would ever be “bad”. I certainly enjoyed it.
@unksol In the USA anyway, sushi must be made from frozen fish, due to the risk of parasites. If you go to Asia and have sushi, it may be made from fresh fish, and maybe that tastes better or something, but there’s a non-zero risk involved
@kevinrs valid point. And freezeing does kill some parasites. I don’t think most fish parasites can survive in a human in the first place. So concerns about grocery store suchi would be down to time left unfrozen in the case/truck
@RiotDemon@Star2236@unksol Yeah, and proximity to the ocean doesn’t necessarily mean a whole lot otherwise, either.
A lot of the crab people eat in Maryland is from the Gulf Coast.

Not all sushi contains raw fish, but the fish-containing varieties of sushi prepared and served in our stores use fish that has been certified to have been handled and frozen appropriately from the sea to our store.
Why aren’t Hiram’s lips moving?
@sammydog01 Well, at least you know he’s not lip-syncing.
Very catchy song but I still will not eat grocery store sushi.
Hey - Wegmans has some dang fine sushi!
7-Eleven sushi, on the other hand…
I wouldn’t eat grocery store sushi either, but my local HEB has some pretty tasty pot stickers in their sushi department
Wow

I was distracted during most of it, being too fascinated by that background of the rainstorms moving across the landscape.
That said, we have some excellent grocery store sushi (always fresh daily) around here. Of course, we have this big ocean right here.
I don’t know what the video is about but our Kroger makes some pretty good sushi.
@Star2236 Our Publix has $5 sushi Wednesday. I keep forgetting.

@unksol
I definitely would not buy Walmart sushi and I just watched the video.

@Star2236 @unksol sushi fish is frozen, so you don’t necessarily need to be close to the ocean to get sushi.
