Answers:
ooo get a CALIFORNIA ROLL! its crab meat, avocado, cucumber rolled in seaweed and rice, might sound gross but as picky as i am i love it, all of it just blends together and tastes great!. spicy tuna rolls are also popular, never had it though!. you can get vegetable rolls!. the green stuff (wasabi) is really spicy its like horseradish but a teeny bit of it on sushi is really good, or dip it in soy sauce!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Most sushi restaurants have picture menus!. If you're a nervous eater look for the rolls that have cooked items like California rolls (crab, cucumber, avocado) or tempura rolls!. If you're extremely nervous there's nothing wrong with ordering a teriyaki bowl or tempura dish!.
Order one roll at a time, it's easy to think it won't be enough food and end up with too much!. It's an order as you eat affair!.
The green wasabi is spicy and meant to me stirred into soy sauce for dunking your sushi in!. The pickled ginger will clean your palate but eat it one piece at a time!. Different people have different spice reactions to it!.
If you sit at the bar let the chef know you're a first timer and they will typically take good care of you, ask you what you like and don't, and make you something special!. Same goes for your friends!. For most people sushi is an exotic food and we all had it for the first time once!. No one will think less of you when you let them know!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

Nigiri sushi is the raw fish stuff, just fish on rice, otherwise it will be rolled and not raw (usually, at least where I eat)!. Lots of sushi places do a lot of explaining if it is your first time!. I personally don't like the rolls with cream cheese, it is just weird!. Just look at the ingredients and see if you would like them, some of the names might be japanese, you can just ask!. Tempura rolls are delicious and cooked, as well as somewhat masking seaweed or seafood tastes, you can get them just with vegetables too!. My personal favourite is anything with unagi, or roasted eel!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
If this will be your first time, here are some pointers!.
The green paste and the sliced orange stuff given to you is wasabi and ginger root!. The wasabi is a very, very spicy form of horse radish!. It is to be used a spec at a time!. The ginger is there to take to clear you palette or you ate something too spicy!.
I have seen wasabi totally wrapped in ginger and eaten without it being too spicy!.
There are lots of sushi you can do that is not raw fish!. Vegetable sushi is good to start and so are cooked fish or eel!.
Order a bowl or rice and miso soup as you eat the sushi!. That will fill you up and not cost so much!.
It takes a bit getting used to but it is wonderful when you get used to it!. also, order the obligatory California Roll, that will start you off well!.

Sushi is made out of rice, with dried seaweed wrapped around it!. It's like an asian roll with any ingredient you want inside it!. You dip the sushi in wasabi or soy sauce, and wasabi is very spicy so you should dip only a little bit on your sushi!. Popular fillings are chicken and avocado, salmon, fish, and they come in combinations and its really yummy!! Just type in 'sushi' in google!.
