I usually stick to the sashimi to avoid too much refined carbohydrates. They do say that tuna or mahi-mahi may contain a greater concentration of mercury (these fish live longer and may ingest and retain more mercury) other fish such as salmon and mackerel do not live as long and therefore do not have as much chance to ingest as much mercury.

Knowledge is power! ;)

Sushi is always good in my tummy if that's what you mean. It doesn't hurt to also have some hot sake to go along with the sushi.

Yeah but if whoever came up with that roll had any civic pride they'd have named it something other than philadelphia.

Unless it was the creation of the philadelphia cream cheese company itself! Hmmm... time to research this.

Ah also i hope you make quite a bit of money or can get by with pretty small portions. Sushi/sashimi for lunch 5 days a week could get really expensive.

If you are eating sushi it shouldn't be too expensive but if you try to get full on sashimi its going to take a while!
