Anyone have any good tips or resources for keeping your kitchen at home stocked and ready for whipping up some good Maki Sushi?

For Futomaki, you need eggs, imitation crab, fish powder (swordfish, oriental market), chinese stytle pickle (canned, oriental market), daikon (oriental market). flying fish roe (oriental market).
For spider roll, you need softshell crabs when in season.
For eel roll, you need teriyaki eel found in oriental market.

Make sure you keep the fish fresh. Either that, or cover it with plenty of wasabi. Fresh fish is the key to good sushi. Mmmmm...sushi...*drool*
Nori (dried seaweed), short grain white rice, sweetened rice wine vinegar, veggies/fish, bamboo mat, sharp knife.
Sush grade fish is easy to find if you have a Japanese market around, but it's friggin expensive. Remember to keep your hands wet and knife clean or you will have a sticky, crappy mess. Rice cookers make me happy too.
If you're really all about the sushi you can always do what I did and apprentice at a restaruant and get all the free sushi you can handle. And there is such a thing as too much sushi.

We have a fish market that gets "fresher" fish than the local grocery store. Sure, it's nothing like getting it out at the coasts (where I hear it's rumored to be EXCELLENT), but for the Midwest, it'll do.

It is excellent here. So Cal has some great sushi restaurants!
I love sushi but have never tried making it. My wife and I have some good friends who have made their own sushi but they said it isn't really worth it. It is expensive to buy a piece of sushi grade fish and you end up with one kind of sushi for dinner. No variety. That's what sushi is all about!! Variety!!! If you're ever in Encinitas, CA try Tomiko! Excellent sushi, great views and close to my house!!! Yum...
ahh ha.. eh 699$ sale price for a knife, ermm I just wanted to stock up for a couple maki rolls for when the craving hit.
maybe I should start a poll on how many people like wasabi with thier sushi
Do you buy wasabi strait or do is it a from scratch type of thing?
onigiri = rice seasoning from "oriental market" + regular jasmine non-sushi rice + canned salmon or market fresh.
put spoon full of salmon in middle of rice ball and roll the rice ball in the rice seasoning... make sur ethe salmon was already cooked.

True sushi rice in Japan is a type called Sasanishiki. You probably can't get it here but its pretty common in Japan. They may have a California strain of Sasanishiki here.
Sasanishiki is personally my favorite.
They sell instant rice vinegar powder at Asian grocery stores. Its pretty simple to use. Just sprinkle it on.
