Thanks for the advice guys!I can't find a local sushi shop local but might look around out of town.Its for my only sons 1st birthday party, he loves the stuff!But he has dairy, wheat, soy, fish allergies so it will be free from mayonaise etc.I would make it myself, but just not brave enough.Might try once the pressure is off and I have some more time.

The Pak n Save in Petone sells Sushi so the Upper Hutt one probably does as well.

The easiest way is probably to buy a kit from the supermarket, then you get everything you need in one lot. Realistically it is only getting the cooking of the rice, and the seasoning of it right, and then you can get as creative with the fillings as you like, or as plain.

In that case I would make it myself! How can you be sure there is nothing in their sauces etc that he is allergic to? And "pressure" for a 1 year-olds birthday party ... don't let it get out of hand so early. What are you going to do once he is older? Relax :)

All "specialty stuff" you really need is the Nori (seaweed sheets) and a rolling mat which you can buy for about $3 in the International section of the supermarket.You can use any short or medium grain rice and add a dash of white vinegar and a spoonful of sugar to the cooking water rather than the expensive sushi rice and sushi vinegar.

You should go see St Pierres at Queensgate - they do platters.It will go hard if you put it in the fridge.You dont need to worry about food poisoning from properly made sushi because the vinegar preserves it.

The sushi we buy says on the packet, must be consumed the same day.

I'm addicted to sushi and was spending a lot of money buying it... I've now invested in my own sushi maker and it's brilliant!!!! Available from Stevens stores: http://www.sushezi.com/

I would be more worried about the rice than anything else.

Hey Shey, pop into Moore Wilsons,they have a new product in the freezer section, Frozen sushi, sounds odd I know but trust me it's really good. You just bring it out of the freezer and it's ready in 30 minutes. 24 in a pack Lots of lovely flavours too
