Does your local grocery sell sushi? -

Does your local grocery sell sushi? I have been hearing from various people in the US that there is sushi sold everywhere these days, so I am a bit curious. Back last time I visited, there was "sushi" in the way of canned tuna rolled up in rice and seaweed - but nothing more.

Generally is is made fresh in a special section of the deli, is made by an Asian person who is not Japanese, and it is inexpensive and pretty bland.

We have a food Co-op that I'm sure sells Sushi, probably with both cooked and raw fish. The University I attend also has an "Asian" food place in the food court that makes their own fresh Sushi everyday. We also have a new Japanese restaurant that sells fresh Sushi that is beautifully decorated.
I'm a vegetarian so I cannot comment on the taste of any of them, and I didn't particularly like Sushi when I did eat fish either =/

Yes, but it is not raw and not very good. My local store has started coating their sushi in way too many sesame seeds, so I just don't buy it anymore. I would rather put aside more time and more money and go to an actual sushi restaurant.

My local grocery store hardly sells the basic food necessities. But I do know Kroger sells sushi, and I always have to make a special trip to the nearest one to get some whenever I'm out of town. By my standards, it's pretty damn good.

Nope, but even if they did I wouldn't buy it from there. There are barely any Asian people here. Hardly anyone in my area cares about having good sushi. I always have to go to the next city over to get good sushi.
All there is, is the products used to make it here. I just go to the restaurant in Cordova, tn.

Kroger Sushi, California Rolls, Tempira, Dumplings, eel, tuna, maybe something unidentible, and spicy and cheese california rolls (What I call them)
They also sell Pocky (Chocolate and strawberry) and at anAisan market I can find Marashi dango! Anybody know where you can find Taiyaki here in Texas? Preferrably Houston . . .It seems rare and as childish as it sounds Anime got me interested . . . I have no Friends- The cats have scratched and destroyed all of the DVDs! I always owe someone- In fact I put two os in it! I always ruin my clothes with Bleach!- The show is so dom suspensful I spill my grape soda on them! But . . .I'll live.

I don't mean to go off topic but I feel this whole "sushi craze" outside of Japan is essentially over-rated.
I've been talking to many people (mainly North Americans and some Europeans and non-Japan Asians) about the "sushi" they eat. So much of what is available as "sushi" outside of Japan, I wouldn't call as such as a Japanese person. Canned tuna, hot pepper, hot sauce, cream cheese, long-grain rice, stir-fried vegetables, fruit, kimchee, etc... Just leave sushi to the real fish lover for once! I really don't care what they like to eat. I just wish they didn't call everything that comes with cold rice "sushi".
