Yeah Uni is the flavor of the ocean for sure, and is an aquired taste. Similar to monk fish liver.
I got to say that the west cost has better sushi we are closer to the islanders and Japanese that created it. I heard somthing about Los Angeles having the highest population of Asians
*The Asian-born population is concentrated in a handful of metropolitan areas.
Close to half (about 45 percent) of the nation’s Asian-born population lived in
1 of 3 metropolitan areas: Los Angeles, New York or San Francisco.
Within the SanFrancisco area, the Asian-born population made up more than half of the foreign born population.

or more recently
5 million, The Asian population in California, the state that had the largest Asian population (either alone or in combination with one or more other races) on July 1, 2006, as well as the largest numerical increase from 2005 to 2006 (114,000).
New York (1.4 million) and Texas (882,000) followed in population. Texas (43,000) and New York (34,000) followed in numerical increase. In Hawaii, Asians made up the highest proportion of the total population (56 percent), with California (14 percent) and New Jersey and Washington (8 percent each) next.

The number of Asians (alone or in combination with one or more other races) in Los Angeles County, Calif., in 2006, which tops the nation's counties. Santa Clara County, Calif. (home of San Jose) was the runner-up (556,000).

Now as for sushi my favorite is... well most all of it but I love me some Hamachi (yellowtail), Maugro (tuna), Hirame (Halibut), toro (tuna belly) basically anything. I am adventurious when it comes to food in general.
I use to have sushi for lunch or dinner at least once a week for a time there. but that got expensive. ~50$ for just me at lunch was when i said Ok thats a bit extravagant.

Aaahh, yes. Sushi is one of my faves. I live down the street from a very nice sushi place, and on any given night it is VERY easy for me to drop $150 on sushi and sake. Even more if I have someone with me. My favorite is probably eel (no skin please) or octopus.
My favorite part about it is that it can be pretty filling with all the rice, but the sake still hits me quick. Getting full and feeling a buzz is a wonderful thing.

My favorite place in Vegas when I'm visiting there. Sushi is God's gift to man when it's made right, when it isn't....

For me, I like to keep it simple and go with sashimi w/ soy sauce/wasabi. mmmmmm. I can jam way too much of that stuff, but it's awesome. Poki is good too.
kona grill and shogun are always favorites if i got the cash on me..
far as local locations, well im not gonna tell, but i will say some of the best sushi/sashimi is usually from non-chain restaurants..
cant get enough of the spicy scallop, philadelphia rolls are bomb and some straight up yellow tail tuna sashimi is bout as good as it gets IMO..

I was a chef fer a long time, and specialized in sushi fer three years....chap I was taught by learnt in Japan...and when I learnt, my teacher made me go thru a 50 lb bag of rice in 1 lbg batches before I was allowed to serve roll one.....
Most places do not serve sushi properly in North America......the rice is never the right temperature.....
If your rice is not at body temperature or just slightly above (95-103 F)....it's not good sushi....or at least it's not the way it is supposed to be.
I only use one type of rice (Tamanashiki) and place the most importance on the rice, because after all, the word sushi means vinagared rice....so if yer gonna make sushi, the rice has to be 100% bang on perfect...if not, it's not worth eating.
That why I laugh whne I see take out sushi in a fridge, and that kinda shit......it may look right, but it sure aint fooking sushi worth eating, that's fer sure.

My first sushi experience was horrible, I went to a jap buffet that had some nasty ass yellow tail and a few other things siting out on the buffet line. I took two pices only got through about 1/2 of one before spitting it out in my napkin. It took me 2 years and alot of convening to get me to try it again. I had the munchies and was hungry enough to eat anything. So I tried it again and have been hooked ever since. I would eat it every day if I could afford it. My Fav is Unagi.
This is what I truely love

Sorry about the poor quality pic but it was borrowed off the net.
Big plate of fish.. Usually wrapped up with lettuce or sesame seed leaf and garnished with garlic, hot peppers, and (Cho-jang = spicy sauce)... Simply Awesome.
Here is some more....
And finally a common fish market found throughout any coastal city.
