Sushi Blog

Usually the rolls that say “tuna”, “yellowtail”, “fresh salmon”, any roll that has the word “fresh” before the fish means that there is some raw fish in there.. sometimes depending on the restaurant it might say “cooked” or “baked” before the fish.. I’m not sure if that helps you if you say the menus don’t say if its raw or cooked but the restaurants that I have been to here in California tend to have a little description of what is in the sushi.

I suggest trying these basic cooked rolls: [The 1st two rolls happen to be my fav]
**Lion King (CA roll with Salmon wrapped & baked then topped with house special sauce)
**Bay Scallop – crab meat & avocado topped with baked scallops and house special sauce
**Deluxe California roll (CA roll with grilled unagi on top)
**Caterpillar roll: grilled Unagi & cucumber wrapped w/avocado
**New York roll: shrimp and avacado
**Raiders Roll – deep fried prawns, avocado, cucumber, crab meat topped with Unagi & special sauce
**Rock’n Roll – broiled eel, avocado & Flying Fish roe
**Futomaki – assorted vegetables & cooked eggs

(I took these descriptions from one of my fav restaurants in the bay area)

Hope this helps!
