This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

If you've had this before and know what to expect then by all means, enjoy away. But if you're expecting this to be anything like more traditional sushi you will be sorely disappointed.
I don't know what to expect. How does it compare to fresh?
It's absolutely awful.
My main problem with this stuff is the rice. It's not really individual grains, it's congealed into a solid, dry mass. Very unpleasant.
My sushi journey started with a similar item from Costco, however not frozen.
Growing up we were forced to take fish liver oil, and any time I tasted sushi all I could taste was fish oil. But the CA rolls from Costco did not have that fish oil taste. After eating it for years I was able move onto better sushi.
I don't know the brand, or even where it was bought, but my experience with, like, prepackaged sushi is that it seems to have a stronger flavor, though less refined in a sense. They also seem to have a tendency to put a bit of wasabi in nigiri under the fish. I think also a tendency to have a lot of surimi with strong flavor.
Wouldn't complain about having it though, it's still nice, mostly just ends up feeling kinda samey.
Not sure how that tastes but have heard stories of frying some in mayonnaise.
