Converting the SO to sushi

ejf12009

My girlfriend is a recently reformed vegetarian - she now eats fully cooked sustainably sourced fish that don't taste fishy. Which is a great upgrade, but I still dream of taking her out to a nice sushi dinner.

Any suggestions on how she might learn to enjoy stronger tasting fish and raw fish?

Starvation always works. Don't make her anything to eat that day- she will enjoy the best sushi dinner of her life. Otherwise, get the chef to cut her pieces super small and ask him whats fresh.

Subterfuge.

I got my wife to like eggs by telling her that I was cooking special eggs from Spain. She would only eat 'Spanish eggs'. That worked for about six months, then she just realized she liked eggs.

Nothing like a disgruntled itamae staring at you to provide 'encouragement'.

I brought my wife around with a series of Tuna dishes cooked gently all the way thru, then pale pink in the center, then just a hard sear. Now days its not allowed to go near ANY heat....;) and now the only sushi she doesn't like is uni, which is my favorite no matter what you do with it.

That tuna HAS GOT TO BE THE BEST YOU CAN GET YOUR HANDS ON!

Why not start with "simpler" fusion rolls? Mild Sriracha, Kewpi, Jalapeno or tuna Jalapeno, sesame are pretty easy starts. And I don't like fishy fish since I grew up on the coast. Raw fish should taste fresh, not smell and have a very gentle and clean texture. If it was even remotely fishy, slimy or odd colored - I don't eat it.

On a more serious note, my wife didn't eat fish period before we got together and I was able to win her over with the use of condiments. She's a sucker for a good wasabi and kewpie mayo. Citrus like lemon or yuzu helped too. Also sitting in front of the chef helps too. I find that it kind of shames them into at least trying it because he's there watching you for approval.
