Sushi Addict

I KNOW raw fish is an absolutely NO-NO during pregnancy. I am a sushi addict and was looking for ideas of COOKED rolls that are safe to eat!

Today, I ordered:

Chicken Tempura
Shrimp Tempura
Spider Roll (Deep fried soft shell crab)
Avocado Roll

Any other suggestions out there to help me deal with these nine months :)? THANKS!!

  • I do any cooked roll or veggie roll! I am definitely a sushi addict as well... Maybe try a specialty roll wherever you go and just make sure it's cooked? Those are usually better in my opinion!

  • What sushi places do you frequent?? I know Hapa is a chain that has loads of vegetarian options as well as cooked. I always go for the veggie rolls- asparagus, avocado, sweet potato, cucumber, carrot, lettuce, mango, japanese pickle, strawberry, cream cheese. And for nigiri I love tofu skin (mildly sweet). I think shrimp and crab are always cooked. Plus anything tempura or fried of course.
  • I tried to go to a sushi restaurant when I was pregnant with DD. they refused to serve me even cooked items or non-fish items because they couldn't guarantee there wouldn't be cross-contamination. :(
  • @knitmama that is sad!! I'm a major sushi addict as well... I've had to stick with the veggie rolls but after reading these suggestions I think I might venture out!!
  • I love sushi, but I agree with the PP that mentioned watching out for your mercury levels. They recommend that you don't have more than two servings of fish per week. At least that's what my hospital recommends.

    I love sushi! I'm blaming it on the hormones but i cried when i found out no more sushi. I had not thought of cooked rolls though. Perhaps, not all is lost. :)
  • I LOVE sushi!! With my last pregnancy, if we went to our local sushi restaurant, I would order a Salmon Terriyaki and some avocado sushi. I plan to do the same and I already did too, with this pregnancy.

    P.s. this thread made me crave sushi!!!

  • Oh man, I will also miss sushi - last pregnancy I still ate it but only ordered cooked rolls. My first time away from DD DH took my to an awesome sushi place and I just devoured sushi/sashimi whatever I could get my hands on. I plan on doing the same this time around, too.
