Hthr37 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Hey everyone, I often go for Sushi with friends for dinner once a week. I am not really familiar with anything other than rolls. What should I order that would be Whole 30 compliant? I am up for trying anything, just not scallops I am very allergic. Thank you!

Moderators ultrarunnergirl Posted May 1, 2014 Moderators Share Posted May 1, 2014 First, bring your own bottle of coconut aminos. Second, be aware that there is soy in almost everything they serve that has a sauce (and sugar).It is very hard to order compliantly, have had a couple of experiences where they will tell you it has no soy or sugar when it does. Your best bet is to order sashimi, hold the rice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennor Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I usually order sashimi and don't eat the soy and wasabi. Japanese restaurants are challenging. Soy tends to sneak into most dishes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina R Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Fake crab can have gluten (such as a california roll). You can order teka maki (sp) this is just tuna wrapped in seaweed or even salmon. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almondjoyless Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Try gluten free sushi. It's healthy and tasty. http://cdn.arwrath.com/2/252649.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielleM Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Easiest thing is to order Sashimi. It's just fish. Bring your own coconut aminos if you want something to dip it in...or go without- it's quite tasty. I like the tuna and salmon best, but you can be pretty adventurous with sashimi! When I just went to a sushi place a couple weeks ago, I also ordered a house salad- no dressing, croutons, etc. and asked that they add avocado for a fat. Or bring your own olive oil along as well to put on the salad. Avoid the wasabi and the pickled ginger- unless you know for sure they don't have non-compliant ingredients. Also avoid any seaweed garnish as they are usually marinated in soy (at least they were at the place I went- glad I asked!) Hope that helps. I just asked this question too, and there are lots of other suggestions in the forum. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeniB Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Sashimi! My sushi restaurant will also steam the veggies used for tempura as a side...usually sweet potato, onion, mushroom, broccoli and squash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielleM Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Great idea, JeniB. I'll have to see if mine will do that next time I go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlaccini Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Sashimi is your best bet. If you know the people who prepare the sushi you can ask the to make some sushi specially made with no rice, veggies, and an approved protein. Some places will accomodate.

Kayt Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I am so happy to see this thread. I love sushi, and the friends that go out for it. I honestly just figured that I was giving up sushi for the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinaH Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 We love going to a Japanese BBQ restaurant near us. www.gyu-kaku.com I think I can get a pretty good Whole30 compliant meal there. I wonder if Shabu Shabu is a good choice too? (depends on what is in their broth of course) Tekka Maki and Kappa Maki (cucumber and nori) are not good choices since both have rice. Basically the definition of sushi = vinegared rice. So, sashimi it a winner, or ask them to make a roll with only veggies and fish (clearly say "no rice")....the chef may like the challenge! Sit at the bar and be friendly with your chef. I like the thought of asking the restaurant to steam the tempura vegetables for me Many sushi restaurants use kabocha, which is my favorite squash. yum!

TinaH Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Oh - and when you are reintroducing after a whole30, when it comes to sushi rice...you need to know that it is made with a simple seasoning mix that includes rice vinegar, and sugar! Not many people know about the sugar, but it's there. Of course since you're not whole30 anymore that's fine - but if you were going to continue to avoid sugar.... Because sushi rice is made in huge batches and this is the traditional method, I doubt they could make you separate sugar-free rice if you ask. But, again - be friendly with the chef at the bar. He may be willing to try to make you a roll with the plain rice they serve with entrees (it's hard to work with for a roll, but not impossible) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeadowLily Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Thank you, Tina. I'm not ever going to eat sushi because I'm a-feared of tapeworms. So no toity probs for me. But I appreciate it, anyhoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
