Yes there is a walmart, but only one actual grocery store, and it now stock frozen sushi.

Update: I shared this picture with my local gaming group, one of them went and picked up a tray.

He tossed it into the fridge and tried it this morning.

I had the first piece. It is supposed to be "Refrigerated Only" by the packaging, but honestly, with a fridge thaw, it tastes just fine. I've had plenty worse than that.

If I was not vegetarian I would give it a try. The closest place to get sushi to us is an hour drive.

Why Frozen instead of refrigerated?

If you’re in America, all fish is flash frozen anyway, even “fresh” sushi or sashimi.

Flash freezing individual fish feels a bit different than taking out that (presumably thawed) fish, using it to make sushi rolls, and then refreezing it.

Edit: My perception was obscured by disgust and I didn't realize these are California rolls and don't have fish, but the point stands. Frozen rice and frozen avocado are fucking gnarly. Frozen avocado especially is a sin.

CrabStick is still usually made from fish.

They use surimi, don't they? Fake crab made from fish paste. Still fish.

With you on the avocado.

[-] tyler@programming.dev 3 points 2 weeks ago

Oh yeah didn’t even think about the avocado. Good point!

Thats fake crab. It's pre cooked before even going into the rolls.

Extended shelf life maybe?

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
