Tundras live: Dumb Dad Jokes, Incorrect Opinions, and Relationship Advice.

You, my friend, need to spend some time at 'church'...

Allow me to recommend a nice 'coastal' 500m range...

 

Nice. Just south of me near the New Mexico border is a thousand yard public range. Wide open spaces here. Usually a long shot.

 

Because if you were the Japanese chef then I'd bow down. But you're not, because like me, you're just a white boy who was stationed there. See what I did there? I too was in Japan and Subic and all over Asia both in the suck and as a civilian. But my ego isn't that big that makes me think I'm some sushi expert because I ate a lot of food there. What I am saying is that Nobu is making real sushi in CO and he is a master in his craft. There is a saying that 10,00 hours will get you well on your way to becoming an expert. So when you let me know about your 10,000 hours spent making sushi will I listen to you soapbox about being a tourist.

 

I get that. In my 5 years there, I met many masters. Most in small towns. Born there. Professional masters who never get recognition and don't want it. Next?

 

Shit... I was less than 200 miles from you when I lived in Farmington, NM about 27 years ago

 

Why are the guys you dined with better judges than the guys he dined with?

 

I drove down into NM two weeks ago past San Antonio Mt. Beautiful country. So damn nice, I'm looking at property there too.

 

That a par 5?

 

Weird... I've been to Taos, Chama, north up the 25, north up the 170 into Durango, Telluride, Montrose and Grand Junction, but never through your area

 

You lobbin' slugs down range???

 

So without quoting a ton of posts, the freshest sushi I ever ate was caught butchered and eaten maybe all within 30 minutes. While still fishing.
I've caught fish and brought them home the next day to butcher. The dogs got the dark meat while I ate chunks.
Flash frozen is a great way to commercially process. Done on the boat, always a commercial fishing vessel.
I think now the technology has caught up to the supply chain, so if you have a reputable establishment you can get good stuff.

 

My "guys" weren't judges. There is no my guys. I'm not the one bragging about knowing a "master". I'm simply talking about my personal 1800+ day "short" time experience that I had in Japan vs zero days. Example... you want taco's in Japan or sushi? Want NY pizza in Guatemala? Just making it simple.

 

Apparently, some of us need some help in this category... So, if you could delete this post, and then go back and multi-quote all the previous sushi posts (yes, even rainman's grocery store sushi dude at Kroger comments from last year) and repost this response that would be great... So, I could learn by example.

Also, a thorough tutorial and maybe even a youtube video linked to your personal wikipedia page would be more awesomer!!!!!

 

What, no answers???

This was a serious question...

 

I only spent six months in Japan, but had some great sushi. After the first month my interpreter was taking me to his no ganji local place. Took me and my wife too when she came out for a couple of weeks. Good times with good people.
Still, east coast sashimi, caught today, can't be beat.

 

Taos is at the very south end of San Luis Valley. Sort of. Head straight north and you get to Alamosa

 

Ain't happening.

 

Yes.

Bro you got worked up over nothing other than making a false claim about no real sushi is to be found in CO. You lived there as a tourist, with zero training as a sushi chef. Who the hell calls out a chef with no chef credentials based on how long you lived somewhere? You're getting all worked up in your assumptions while knowing nothing about me and where I served. West coast infantry marines go through the East. Figured you had enough sense to know that.

 

Fresh caught Sockeye Salmon sashimi in Anchorage didn't exactly suck either.

 

Haven’t in over a year

 

Not a bro. Wasn't a fucking tourist either. Was serving my country keeping Marine Fighter jets ready for missions. You know nothing about me. Air Wing. Not infantry. What the hell are you talking about? Ignoring you now.

 

Correct.

 

I am marine corps infantry. The backbone of our beloved corps. How many of those double IPA's did you drink tonight? Ask for a fight but can't even handle a respectful discussion. laughing my ass off right now.

 

All I heard was Marines. You both eat/ate crayons. Not sure either of you know what good sushi is now.

 

I had "jumping salad" in the Philippines. Fresh caught sand shrimp pulled up from nets. Put on top of a prepped salad bowl. Stunned with a vinegar salad dressing. Shrimp were stunned and still moving while you ate them. Excellent!

 

Because they live in CO and make sushi here. For the record, it's real.

 

You sure as hell don't. Ha!

 

Good news everyone, Madonna and Elton John are BFFs again.

We can all sleep well tonight
