Wegmans and Whole Foods sushi is decent! Not as good as if you go to a nice sushi restaurant, but a fine, inexpensive lunch.

My kids like Whole Foods sushi a lot and I will eat it occasionally though I usually prefer to get it directly from the people making it.

You don’t eat a whole sushi roll when using chopsticks? I’m fascinated.

I buy my kids grocery store sushi, but I’m more snobby about mine and only eat it from a few places I like. It was all better in NYC when we lived there but oh well. I eat it with my fingers.

I like WF sushi, wish there were more varieties.

Freshly made sushi is better than sushi that's been sitting in a refrigerated container for a couple of hours. To clarify, the RICE is better when it's freshly formed. It gets hard and stale after sitting in the fridge. And veggies or other add-ins might get soggy. The fish itself is usually fine.

So, if I see the person behind the counter forming rolls and packing them into containers, I'm happy to take those and eat them soon after. I don't buy them from the refrigerated case hours after the staff went home, or take them and stick them in my own fridge for a day. (The latter part is true of grocery store or takeout, day-after takeout sushi is horrible.)

Some sushi restaurants do have really high-quality fish, but even the best restaurants it's more a matter of 'what did you get this week that is particularly amazing', vs an across-the-board statement that the restaurant fish is better than grocery store fish.

Wegmans is f*ing terrible.

Stop spreading the lie that it’s edible.

I'm sure you often ask people "can't you take a joke?" You sound like a jerk.

I eat both and it depends on who makes it. The supermarket stuff isn't usually any cheaper and in some places more expensive.

If this is true, you have made me very happy.

I get a veggi sushi roll from my local sushi place. And I eat with my hands. I am trying to learn how to use chopsticks but it is so hard.


Yes, it is true. Japanese eat sushi with their hands. They don't eat as many rolls tho.


+1. At higher end sushi omakases you'll also see everyone eats sushi with their fingers. They give you a little finger wipe. I have no problem with chopsticks generally, but they're kind of annoying for nigiri. Happy to use my hands and know it is not uncouth!

Are you 5 or not have functioning teeth? So strange to worry about choking on a sushi roll. Do you not know how to chew?
