How many sushi pieces is standard for a good meal?

[Lysander]

Tonight the wife and I had delivery sushi. We had eight California rolls each and 6 sashimi. We were still hungry afterwards, though I went online to see how much the average person ate and some are saying "I have six sushi pieces and I'm stuffed!".

Is there something wrong with me? Do I have worms? I could have eaten double the quantity but had to make a bowl of pasta

P.S. We are not fat.

... how much did you pay ?
sushimi's expensive stuff, as commented , must be > £50Kg, maybe £100 ... one piece 15g ? so 6 pieces £5-£10

I think it was six pieces for £6-7.

When you say a roll do you mean the whole roll or a piece? One roll usually makes 6-8 pieces.

If the latter then it really wasn't much, if the former you're a pair of greedy gits. Understandable though.

When I say roll I meant individual pieces.

8 California rolls is like a small starter.

Yeah. Once we went out for dinner and I think we had a 50-piece platter between the two of us plus a starter. That was enough. But 14 pieces each for the whole meal is not enough.

My local does an 11 piece sashimi/sushi platter which is about right for one. I generally add a miso soup or tempura cos i'm a greedy guts.

I think 11 pieces for lunch is fine. For dinner, no. I would be expecting at least twice that.
