Top 10 Sushi Bites

We just stumbled on a list that was created by Listverse.com. This particular list was called "Top 10 Sushi Bites." Of course, as any sushi lover would do, I had to see what was comprised in this list and in what order they would be.

Some of these rolls will be very unfamiliar to you. The others, however, are household names in the sushi world. After you review all of them, leave your comment telling us which you've tried and what your top 10 sushi roll list would look like.

#10: Unagi (Eel)


Whether it's dancing or stationary, eel has become a staple member of most sushi patrons' plates. 

#9: Tako (Octopus)


Octopus, or tako, just might be the most feared piece of sushi in Japanese cuisine. While its rubbery texture leaves displeasure to many, it is also adored by those with more of a tolerating palette.

#8: Basashi (Horse)


This is one of the pieces that you don't see too often. In fact, we have never even heard of it. The oddest thing about this one is that it's not even referring to sea horse - this is actual horse meat. How is it considered sushi then? 

#7: Tobiko


Would you like to eat the ovaries of flying fish? Well, that's what tobiko is. And it's become a delicacy in many places around the world. 

#6: Toro


Toro is the fattiest part of the Bluefin Tuna, which is the most caught wild fish in the world. It's probable that you've had toro before if you eat a lot of sushi. 

#5: Salmon Skin Roll


The thought of eating salmon skin may not sound so pleasant, but it is adored by sushi eaters all over the world. Who would have thought? 

#4: Amaebi (Sweet Shrimp)


Most of you have probably never even had sweet shrimp by itself, but amaebi, has a very interesting, yet delightful flavor to it. Shrimp lovers must try this at some point in their lives. 

#3: Shime Saba


Shime Saba is the technical term for pickled mackerel. Believe it or not, this made #3 on this list for a reason. It is quite delicious! 

#2: Yellowtail with Jalapenos


You already love yellowtail, but have you ever had it with jalapenos on top? The juxtaposition in flavors is quite refreshing, especially if you can tolerate a little extra heat on top of the wasabi you normally consume. 

#1: Fugu Sashi


The #1 sushi bite on this list is fugu sashi, or blowfish. It's soft and is known as quite a delicacy in most Eastern countries. Have you ever had blowfish?
