Mad about Sushi

Now I usually put my food fads down to the time of the year or the fact that if I can´t get something I want it all the more. I remember when I first came to Spain 14 years ago and it was nearly impossible to get cheddar cheese or salad cream or HP sauce (unless you went to Gib on the old road) which took 2 hours at least. But my latest craving is for sushi, and I find it amazing that more supermarkets don´t sell it fresh. When I worked in Murcia a couple of years ago, Carrefour used to sell delicious salmon and vegetable mixed sushi which was as good as you could find in any of the local Japanese restaurants. Served in a box with chopsticks, soy sauce and ginger pickle (yes I forgot the name of it) oh and wassabi of course. Of course sushi has to be fresh and this was as fresh as could be. I always find good sushi quite refreshing, almost as if you are eating goodness, which of course you are. Certain branches of Opencor sell boxed sushi but it is rather hit and miss as to how fresh it is, and I find it quite off-putting when all the little rice rolls are on their sides and look like they have been shaken up. Uniformed sushi that´s what we want! So any ideas on where to buy this -close to Fuengirola - would be good. Euromarket sell it at the weekend next to the fish counter, but I know it would sell like hot cakes if more of the big stores stocked it. A survey among my sushi loving friends proved this. El Corte Inglés used to stock it but it now seems to have gone AWOL along with the rest.
