As everyone knows, the greatest holiday in the history of holidays takes place on September 19. International Talk Like a Pirate Day. September 19 also happens to be when we have out Sept. sushi night scheduled at Mr. Delicious. The plan is to create Pirate sushi and we wanted to get the egullet crowd involved. We are looking for sushi ideas that fit into the pirate category, no matter how silly they may be.

you could have a "walk the plank" roll. Where you make a roll with the fillings of choice, but just enough that every person gets one piece. You stuff one piece full of wasabi, and place it wasabi side down. Everybody closes eyes, grabs a piece, chews and swallows...the unlucky person who grabbed the wasabi filled piece (and is now steaming from the ears) "just walked the plank '. It's a pirates take on the russian roulette roll.

"Pirates of the Caribbean" sushi with jerk seasoning on the fish... "Blackbeard" with mussels and squid ink... "Gold Dubloons" for veggie roll w/omelet... and of course an evening combo special of eight different rolls called "Pieces of Eight."

Laughed so hard, nearly sprayed coffee out of my nose....

My contribution - find a sushi boat and decorate it into a pirate's ship. Along with maki roll cannons and salmon roe cannonballs. Add a nori flag.

Be sure to take pictures for us! :smile:

And squeeze bottle skull and crossbones of mayonnaise. You have to have mayo.

(and you could go off-sushi, and do an izakaya offering of "sparrow"(s).)

And serve some kind of sake, shochu or plum wine beverage - call it "Pillage & Plunder Punch" or some such. The cocktail forum people might have some ideas.

This is awesome. We're going to have to change our format for our sushi nights, family style platings. I'm going to have to start rolling at 8 in the morning for dinner at 7pm if I'm gonna pull this off.

That's freaking hilarious. Anyway, I think what I am going to end up doing is a pirate diorama in the style of chirashi-zushi, and stylized ship rolls for the second plating. And I've been playing with temari-zushi, to make things like pearls and other round pirate paraphenalia(cannonballs with black tobikko)

For the pearls and cannonballs, have you considered something like filled musubi? You could use fillings like spicy tuna.

in the end we didn't have time for a proper photo shoot. I'm not even sure that we had a camera even handy. Everything was very well received, and a few of the rolls may return for different menus down the road.
