- (FBE) We brought in four people who have never had sushi before
to try it for the first time. Once they try it,
we'll have them try to decipher cheap sushi
from really expensive sushi. Welcome to First Times.
Word on the street is that you've never had sushi before.
- Oh, god. Is that what's under here?
Oh, gross!
- My mom jokes that I don't know I'm Asian,
'cause all of Japanese food and Korean food has fish in it.
- I've never had sushi before, and I've never been to a sushi place,
nothing like that. - Oh, I got the chills. Hold up.
Ah. Ah, I got the chills. Ah, it just hit my system
that I'm actually doing this.
- (FBE) This is the big moment. Your first time ever trying
any kind of sushi. Go for it. Let me know what you think.
- Oh my god. I feel like I'm already gonna throw up.
- Oh, I'm so nervous! I've never had sushi before. Okay.
Oh! (laughs) I don't like it.
This is spicy kind of.
- I totally just dry heaved.
It's like rice with a spicy mouthful
of ocean water.
- It tastes horrible. Why is it burning my mouth?
It's hot. It's like spicy tuna?
- You see that kind of fell apart? Not as bad as I remember.
- (FBE) Let's move on to the next piece.
- I'm scared. I feel like this one's gonna taste
exactly like the other one. Uh-oh. Damn.
I'm so bad with the chopsticks. - Okay, here we go.
- (FBE) You can do it. You can do it.
- Oh, come on, man. This one was less barfy
than the other one.
- That's so gross.
- It is so salty! (laughs) I need a Capri Sun.
- This one doesn't have any extra stuff.
- This one looks very basic, so you can tell this is
for sure the cheap one. - (muffled) That's horrid.
Ugh! God, what is wrong with you people?
- Oh, I don't like that! - No.
- (FBE chuckling) The worst one?
- Mm-hmm. - I don't like that one. Mm-mm.
- That one was not as bad. Unlike the other ones,
it had a lot more rice. It was like the rice-to-fish ratio...
Ugh. - (FBE) So, that was your first course
of sushi ever. That was a sushi classic,
the spicy tuna roll. - That's depressing.
I would never force my kids on that. - Ugh. It was disgusting.
I'm probably gonna be [censored] my pants for a week.
- (FBE) So, one of these was cheap, one is down the middle,
and one is fancy. Which do you think was which?
- Fancy one's A for sure, B was middle, and C was cheap.
- A is the most expensive. B is the cheapest.
C is the middle. - B was the most expensive,
A was in the middle, and C was the cheapest.
- The cheap is C, A is middle of the road,
and B is more expensive. - (FBE) B is the cheapest
at $4 per roll. (buzzer)
A is in the middle at $7 per roll. (buzzer)
And C was the fanciest at over $9 per roll.
- There was no flavor. It didn't even look nice.
- That is expensive for one little thi--
it's 'cause of the fish. - Y'all are getting ripped off,
because like I said, the fish-to-rice ratio
is not very good, so you're paying for a lot more rice
than you are for [censored]-- I mean, fish.
- (FBE) Well, here is your second course.
This is salmon nigiri sushi. - (Emily) Oh!
- (FBE) So, this is just rice and fish.
- Okay, you know what? I'm going to say that actually
doesn't sound like-- rice and salmon doesn't sound bad,
but I didn't even think-- this isn't even cooked.
- It's not that I don't like eating fish.
I just don't like fish in general. I'm afraid of them.
Fish are friends, not food. - Jesus, guys.
Ooph. (sighs)
Okay. I mean, just the texture. It's the texture
of hard booger and loogie.
- It almost tasted good. - Mm-mm. It's slimy.
- (gags) Can I spit it out? I don't like it.
It's the texture! It's crazy weird.
Okay, wait. I'm gonna finish that bite.
I can't. Wait. I'm just gonna go onto the next one.
- Okay, I'm gonna use a fork for this one, because you
kind of fell apart.
I can't tell if I like it or not. I don't like it.
- I have to mentally prep myself before each bite.
(muffled) See, look. Look at this! This one isn't right.
That one was WORSE than the first one!
- This one's really thin and pretty and loose.
I don't know if that means cheap or expensive, though.
But it was way easier to chew through,
versus this one had muscle or something in it.
- Ohh! (laughs) I don't like that!
- It's not breaking. - Also harder texture to eat.
Not bad. - That was the biggest bite
of [censored] salmon I've ever taken ever in my life.
It's like, "So, how was the horse [censored] compared
to the donkey [censored]? Which one did you think
tasted different?" - B in the middle,
A is the most expensive, and C is the cheapest.
- We'll just go A, B, C. - C is the middle,
B is your most expensive, and A is your cheapest.
- Tender is good. And so, the one I liked most
was B, so I'm gonna say that's the most expensive.
I'ma say C is the middle one, 'cause they put
a little sesame on her. And then, A is--
she low-ballin'. - (FBE) A is cheapest at $3 per piece.
- (claps) - (FBE) C is in the middle
at $5 per piece. And B is the fanciest
at roughly $6 per piece. - (laughs) I just did a TikTok roll.
- Oh, I actually got 'em all right? - Great. Oh, boy.
- (sighs) I've been deceived! This is no sushi!
This is regular raw fish! This is sashimi!
- Are you [censored] kidding me right now?
Just raw fish! - (FBE) So, for your
final course today, this is another sushi staple:
tuna sashimi. Sashimi is best for people
who really like the flavor of the raw fish...
- Oh, good. Great. - (FBE) ...since it doesn't come
with anything else. It's just the fish
and sometimes the sauce. - (claps) I like that!
- This one looks like beef. This looks like meat.
- A looks like they hunked it off the tuna.
That-- (laughs) Not good. I don't wanna swallow it.
I'm so sorry to my culture! My own culture! (laughs)
- Oh my goodness.
(laughs)
- It's not... horrible compared to all the other ones.
It definitely does taste like fish, but it's like
a nice lemon to it. - I mean, this is just flat raw fish.
Ugh. Okay.
Ugh! I chewed it just enough to get an idea
of how disgusting it was. - B! She look pretty.
She a little snack. Mm. Mmm. Mm!
Looks like it's lightly seared,
but (smooches) I liked it!
- It's so squishy. (laughs) I don't like the fish taste
in my mouth. - All I taste is pepper.
- That one had a less of a puky to it,
because it had spices and stuff on it. B seems like it's a little,
tiny bit cooked. Like, they walked it by the fire.
- Mm-mm. No, no. No. I'll pass. Not for me.
- (gag) I can't breathe through this.
- There's absolutely no flavor to it! C is the most expensive.
I'm gonna say A is the cheapest, and B is the middle.
- A is in the middle, B is expensive,
and C is the cheapest. - C, A, B. I don't know.
- C is the most expensive, because it is a plain cut.
B looks the most expensive, but when you want fish
and you want just a pure fish, you don't need all
the pepper and stuff. That's a little
masked flavor combination. It's like the vegetables
in the first one. And then A is the cheapest.
- (FBE) B is actually the cheapest
at $4 per piece. - Really?!
- (FBE) Mm-hmm. C is in the middle
at $7 per piece. (buzzer)
- And A is the most-- - (FBE) And is the fanciest
at roughly $8.25 per piece. - $8 for this li--
it's so little! - I should've known.
Yeah, I knew. I liked it better 'cause of the pepper, but yeah,
I knew it was masking not good fish.
- (FBE) All right. So finally, do you think that you...
- No, no. - (FBE) ...will ever have sushi again
now that you tried it or no? - No. No. Never.
- No. Now I'm happy to say I have proof,
and I have officially tried sushi, so back off me! I'm not eating it.
