Supermarket Sushi

[EcclesCake]

Any recommendations for the best supermarket sushi?

I am a bit sniffy about it as it is obviously not freshly made so tend to avoid it but will have no opportunity to get to a sushi bar to buy some.

Anyone have any more input?

Marks and Spencer -if you call that a supermarket. They have snack sized boxes and larger boxes

I'm happy with Tesco's. I'm no sushi expert, though.

I don't eat it but my daughter has bought it from Tesco,Asda and M&S and liked all three.

I've had it from a few places and the only difference really has been the quality of filling...not the sushi.

I've only had tescos and M&S...the M&S was marginally better.

There is a sushi platter on the waitrose site that's supposed to feed 10-12....my daughter and I could polish it off easily.

I might subject myself to a trial run to see whose offering I favour.

It's a tough job but someone has to do it........

I've never had 'proper' sushi but have tried a fair few supermarket ones, which I've found to be much of a muchness. I recently bought one from either sainsburys or waitrose, can't remember which of those it was but it wasn't very nice and it went in the bin.
By far the best is Costco, I generally treat myself to their rather large sushi platter whenever we go, it does me two days.

Do you have a Sushi restaurant in Plymouth, pasta? We've only recently got what is considered to be a half-decent Chinese with, apparently, authentic food of which genre I do no know but I am presuming Cantonese. I've yet to try it. No Dim Sum though and certainly no Sushi down here :-(

[EcclesCake]

you're a star Eth, I'd forgotten about CostCo sushi, it is freshly made and a good selection - perfect!!!

[ummmm]

We have a Japanese restaurant which was really good the last time I went. There's a fairly new sushi bar which is really good as you can watch them make it.

Hi DT...yes,we've actually got several. I think I've been to them all. The best is this...

I've tried all the supermarket offerings and Waitrose is streets ahead!

Any Lawson's convenience store, common across Japanese cities, does kick-bottom sushi. The British supermarket versions are pretty poor - rice too dry, tinned tuna paste etc.
But - I saw the seaweed sheets in Lidl! So you could experiment and make your own.
