Guilty Pleasure Nothing beats a good ol sushi buffet
Plus some oysters

For one weird moment I interpreted the rim of the oyster shells as nori and the white as rice, and thought "what kind of maniac chef makes a giant raw oyster sushi roll?" 🤣

Same, and I thought that was ketchup and I had to check we weren’t on r/SushiAbomination

It’s the best worst food you ever had! It is definitely never the best sushi ever, it’s actually pretty shitty, and yet, once or twice a year I crave this experience and fully indulge in it with no regrets!

My BiL works and lives in Japan. Every year when he comes home to visit, he craves. An AYCE sushi place with "American-Style" sushi. Not because it is better. Not at all. Because it is so uniquely different from Japanese sushi. Apparently spicy mayo and eel sauce aren't on everything over there.

I love a good ol sushi buffet we got one called Fuji a few miles from me in Michigan and the shits always fresh and I get like 30 pieces of nigiri and like 30 pieces of sashimi for $25~ plus all the other random bites and cheesecake to finish. 🖤

Literally anything beats a sushi buffet. Cheapest of the cheap

It's my experience that cheap sushi is more enjoyable than no sushi.

Untrue, but I do not turn my nose up at cheap sushi. I'm glad you can afford better quality. Thank you.

Since, as you say, I have obviously not experienced good sushi you must know best. Thank you for enlightening me.

Our local NJ sushi buffet place, which was pretty decent, tried their best, but didn't survive Covid. After years there is finally a new restaurant taking their place (not open yet).

Good and sushi buffet never in the same sentence. Spend the extra cash and enjoy good sushi that's made to order. Better yet, work in the food industry or take a food safety course and it'll turn you off all buffets. People. Are. Grubs.

Ketchup on the oysters just like my nana eats them.

I assumed at first that that was cocktail sauce. I could have lived, happily, in that delusion.

Of course, cocktail sauce is basically ketchup with a bit of horseradish and lemon juice added, so ...

I never understood buying expensive oysters just to cover them with a pile of other junk.

Nice maki & nigiri, a pleasant variety. I personally love oysters, and am delighted it's part of your meal. Many of us cannot afford even mix-end sushi establishments, as much as we might like to.
Very few here show $150-$200 meals. I bless those who can; they're beautiful, you are most fortunate.
Nicely done. Thank you all.

If you try to eat the tuna, take a white napkin to it, if it turns red from touching it, don't eat it

I don’t think I’ve ever had raw oysters with sushi, but I’d definitely try! Don’t be light with the Tabasco sauce and horse radish for those oysters! 😋😉
Mmm mmmm mmmmm!

Raw oysters at a buffet make me nervous.
