California Rolls!!!

oregontrailmom · August 2015

How come I never figured out with my first two pregnancies that I could eat California Rolls!? I don't know why it never occurred to me that they only have imitation crab which is not raw fish and therefor are totally fine to eat. I now have an outlet for my sushi cravings! Yay!!

And yes I did find this to be vital information that required it's own post ;-)

imitation crab is made from the fish Pollock, just FYI

ETA: it is cooked, but you have to treat it as you would with cold cuts re: listeria.

Hmmm, well I've already eaten a bunch :-/ But then again I eat a lot of cold sandwiches so I guess I just need to weigh the risks.

I have eaten cooked sushi this entire pregnancy. I LOVE sushi and that's my fix. Happy eating mama!

As long as your trust the source, I say go for it! I've gotten sushi since finding out I was pregnant and I had california rolls and ate them without a second thought. It was delicious too

And also shrimp tempura rolls! Since they're cooked too. I was missing sushi so much. With the seaweed, rice, soy sauce, not to mention the side salad and miso soup, you get a lot of the same flavors, almost the same experience

I was going to add shrimp too! I love sushi and this is what gets me through. It's not the same as good fresh sushi, but it will do for 9 months.

I eat lots of cooked sushi. It's bad enough I had to give up wine!

Call me boring but I usually get the spicy california rolls with crunchy... So I'm still enjoying my sushi!! Wish I had some now!

I had a California roll while visiting California, and I'm pretty sure they used real crab. Which had to be cooked anyway, so I call that safe. But it was pretty amazing.

And I've planned a sushi date with H in the near future with all this sushi talk. I'll find a way...

I just have vegetarian sushi it's so amazing...and for some reason tastes even better while pregnant!!!

I've thoroughly been enjoying Firecracker Rolls. They have cream cheese, jalapeno, imitation crab, crunchy bits, and sweet & spicy sauce. Sooo good! Maybe your sushi place has something like that.

Been craving sushi but wasn't sure if I really should eat it. After reading everyone's posts, I think I'm gonna go for it (minus eating raw of course).
Thanks ladies!!!

Yum. Now I just want a rainbow roll.

I read to stay away from all sushi because it's all prepared same place.

notasycophant · August 2015

I ate a ton of sushi , salmon sashimi included last week. I have really intense sushi cravings. I can't say no.

Sorry, I don't quite understand this.. Why should you stay away from sushi?

Maybe because bacteria on raw fish would find its way onto your sushi?
That bring said, I'm still eating it. I have decent sushi spots ands I trust their cleanliness.

@oregontrailmom ah, ok, that makes sense. I first read it as every sushi place has their stuff prepared from the same place and I was like, "uh, I'd trust a place on the coast more than somewhere inland..."

You can tell I just woke up...

*shudders* all I can think about is the cooler section grocery store sushi. I've tried it, but definitely would avoid while pregnant lol.

We are having sushi tomorrow!!! My 5 year old loves it and asked if we could go. I've been looking forward to it all week!!!

DH gets it all the time. It always looks good but it never tastes as good as fresh. God I'm really craving sushi now so hopefully I can convince DH to take me for dinner!

We have a fancy schmancy grocery store that at lunch sometimes brings in the sushi chefs from a hoity toity place downtown that I would occasionally get. That was the only grocery store sushi I've ever had. H suggested I get some when he was looking at the grocery store Chinese food the other day and I almost gagged. No thanks!

I had an app at a restaurant the other day- a jalapeño stuffed with raw spicy tuna, breaded and fried just enough to cook through the jalapeño. Yes it was raw fish but it was from a reputable restaurant and it was SO yummy!!

I'm not going crazy eating raw fish. So far that was my first time and I will probably again, just won't push my luck with it! Only from good restaurants and only on occasion
