sushi @ home... That is what my friend, Chris- the sushi expert, likes to to do when he has free time (not the same friend as the one who does Korean BBQ at home). He holds these crazy sushi parties and spares no expense on taste, quality and variety of dishes that is served (according to him, it ends up costing about $15/person, and everyone is satisfied!). Not only does it tastes good, but the process of making the sushi is fun as well. The selection includes appetizers such as seaweed salad, and tempura (including shrimp and vegetables!). As you can see in the pictures, Chris also makes different types of sushi including salmon, tuna, unagi, uni and scallop. The best looking and most impressive stuff are the rolls, as they look just like the ones from the restaurants where they are usually like ~$10 each. I'm not really sure of the names of the rolls, but the ones with the tempura shrimp inside are just like those dragon rolls you can get at restaurants...sooo good! You can see he even gets the Tobiko to use for the rolls and sushi pieces. Since the types of raw fish being bought are sushi grade, sashimi is on the menu as well (from the pics, there is salmon, tuna and sweet shrimp sashimi... I actually feel hungry right now, no jk).
Quick Notes: So..now you've seen the wonderful sushi that one can make at home and you're probably wondering: Where can I buy the stuff to make this?!... Well.. according to our sushi expert, Chris, This is no easy task. He has to run around Toronto going to different places for different things. For the quality stuff like Uni and Tuna, he goes to Diana's Seafood Delight. Sushi grade Salmon and Scallops are bought from H Mart Korean Supermarket in Richmond Hill (9737 Yonge St.) , where the Salmon is usually $9.99/lb (but it is often on sale for $7.99/lb). He also gets his Unagi at H Mart ($10.98/ 2 big pieces, good quality stuff according to Chris). Finally, he gets the octopus at J Town (at Steeles/ Woodbine, 3160 Steeles Ave. E). You could get everything at one place, but for the best quality/value, it is worth your time to run around Toronto making sure you get the best of everything. (located around Lawrence/Kennedy, check the link for exact location). 
...I will be seeing him next weekend to personally review and eat all his food, so I will keep you posted on exactly how good of a sushi master Chris is and if he deserves the Good Food Toronto stamp of approval. lol.source : http://www.goodfoodtoronto.com, http://dailymotion.com, http://flickr.com
