[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] I have a question -- why is Wegman's sushi not considered "fresh"? I watch them (humans) make it right in front of me and then they hand it to me... how is that less fresh than at a restaurant?[/quote]

We don't have a Wegman's near us, so I've never seen this.  Most grocery store sushi is pre-made by machine and arrives already packaged.

If they're making it fresh in front of you, that's terrific, I'm impressed.  And if they had a counter where I could sit, inspect the fish under the glass, and eat it right when they hand it to me, and where they also served me beer, I might try that.  But that would be a sushi bar.

Instead, they're putting it in packages for you to take home.  By that time, it's not fresh.  And if that package is already sitting in a cooler when you get there, then it's really not fresh.

Yes, at Wegmans they have a sushi station with two or three sushi chefs (or Asian looking people in little sushi chef uniforms  anyhow) and whole pieces of fish (that you can look at -- don't know if you can "inspect" it exactly but it is right there for the world to see), whole vegetables, etc that they cut in front of you and use to fill the sushi rolls when the roll and slice them, then they put the sushi in the display case, or if you want they will hand it to you fresh.
