>is there a way to make rice delicious to eat?

just put some raw fish on it and then add soy sauce & wasabi. Boom. you just made sushi. Can you believe some mooks pay $200 (plus tip) for something so retardedly simple?

>Decent steak is 12-16 dollars per pound.

Wrong. Decent steak can be had for as little as $4 per pound, but it's usually more like $8 per pound. If you buy boneless chuck roast (regularly $4-5 per pound for a 2.5-4 lbs roast), you can cut a Denver steak big enough for at least 2 people. That's a tender, well-maarbled cut that isn't typically offered by most butchers, and you can use the leftover meat for grinding. If that's too much work for babby, my grocery store usually has semi-boneless strip steaks for $7-9 per pound. And there are a bunch of options for under $7 per pound if you go for bone-in thick cut pork chops.

>Fresh seafood is 9-13 dollars pound
This is closer to true, but frozen seafood is usually unnoticeably different in quality if you're careful about sourcing. All commercially available seafood gets frozen at some point anyway, so why be so pretentious? Quit being such a snob.

>mostly I just buy what I want to eat or make

this is pretty much what I do, but I normally let what's in season or on sale influence my purchases a lot. groceries that are in season are generally cheaper.

probably once every other month I'll splurge on a pricey ingredient that I normally don't buy. Beef tenderloin, lamb chops, or morelles are things that usually price themselves right off my radar when I'm at the market, but if there's a reason to celebrate, I'll splurge.

I think my next "treat" might be sea bass. That shit was $30/lbs the last time I went to my fish monger. At that price, it's gotta be fancy, right?

Hey cu/ck/s, I just got a deep freezer, and now I want to start buying whole fish that I can process myself. I have a good fish monger nearby, but the best deals always required buying more food than I could store in my small freezer, so I used to just buy filets on sale.

Anyway, since storage is no longer an issue, I need some good knives. I have a 30 cm sujihiki for slicing finished cuts, but does this brand look good for breaking down the whole fish:
