My family was in town over New Year's, and we had our annual sashimi/sushi dinner at our home. I had heard about a Japanese grocery store that had excellent fresh fish (30 miles away, but not too bad) so we stocked up on tuna, mackerel, yellowtail, and salmon. They also had great barbecued eel. Coming from Portland, OR, my parents experienced a little bit of sticker shock at the prices, but it still came out much cheaper than it would have cost to feed 7 adults at a sushi restaurant.
We made some veggie makizushi, but otherwise, everyone took squares of nori, filled them with as much or as little sushi rice and sashimi as they liked, and it was delicious.
Marsupial, I'll send you some wasabi peas to tide you over until that baby is born.
