But I love many other sushi and sashimi items. Spider roll for the Americanized palate - cajun tuna sashimi for searing the tastebuds - and plain old salmon and tuna ngiri sushi as a staple. <– not a unagi fan, too slimy.

We have "Texas Rolls" here, too -- I stay far away from them. They seem to always vary a bit but usually it's some mammal the chef shot on the way to work that day.

The "Oregon Roll" on the left had unagi <em>in</em> it, but it wasn't obvious by sight or taste. I'm a total sushi n00b, so Katherine (my co-worker from Linux Journal) ordered a variety of goodies. EVERYTHING was wonderful. It was my first time with pretty much everything on the plate. Awesome. I requested the unagi due to an episode of Friends. If you've seen it, you know which episode I mean. :D You’re absolutely correct, Tania, there were two pieces of unagi.
