How much?

I was wondering that too. Why do I have a feeling this would completely blow my food budget for a week or more.

I’m guessing at least 70-80 if not more

Surely not above 50, at least in Aus.

Australia has well managed seafood stocks. Seafood is quite affordable. Add to that the massive amount of competition. I live in the middle of suburbia and google maps has given like 7 different sushi places within a 5 min drive. Sub 50 AUD for sure. So <25 pounds or <35 USD.

Yeah I agree I was thinking around $30-50, those rolls look tiny and not many nigiri

5 California rolls with different sauces and 6 actual pieces of nigiri and 1 salmon roll. I wouldn’t pay more than 40 for this.

Definitely not 5 cali rolls, if anything there’s 2 max

But it's a fair point that five out of those six rolls have massive pieces of avocado in them. I like avocado as much as the next person, but at that point there's not a lot of fish in those rolls.

You’re right, avocado is extremely overused in the west, but a lot of people like it that way so to each their own

Are sushi that expensive in the us?

Side question: does those look good on a US standard?

Spare a cheat day and go to an all you can eat Sashimi buffet I guess. That's what I did.

7 rolls and two orders of sashimi is coming out to at least 70 bucks where I live. My trick is to get the discounted "chef's choices" options where they shovel all the sea urchin egg and eel and jellyfish and stuff at me before it goes bad. Jokes on them, those are my favorites...eel sushi is sooooo good. Pretty sure its like grilled or something first though.

Eel is definitely grilled first.

Yeah I just looked it up and called my dad about how to prepare it. He used to pull them out of crab traps when I was a kid. Apparently you drive a nail through their brain and then cut two flaps of meat off them before grilling or broiling them. He told me how to cut one up after you nail it to a tree lol
