| - With so many AYCE sushi places in Vegas, the wife introduced me to Blue Fin Sushi, and I think our sushi cravings have found a new home in Vegas. The fish was of better quality in comparison with other AYCE places. The pieces fish were chilled (not warm, like in some places we went to) and exquisitely sliced in large portions (some places do a hack job!). I think the wife and I are purists because we tend to focus on nigiri, instead of the rolls. This is the main reason why I will come back...the sushi rice. The sushi rice is amazing here. It has been seasoned so well. The texture of the short grain rice flavored with the slight hint of sushi vinegar is absolutely perfect for me. For example, when I take a bite of the super white tuna nigiri, I first taste that slight hum of rice vinegar from the rice on my tongue. My tastebuds then witness the sweetness and slight creamy flavor of the fish as it slowly intermingles and compliments the vinegar flavor from the rice as I chew. The wife and I also request that certain sauces should not be poured on the nigiri, such as amaebi. I just want to taste the rice and the fish, and chew slowly so i enjoy every bit of it. yummm. The other stand out item to order here is the soft-shell crab appetizer. This is probably one of the best places that this is prepared. They use a panko coating/batter and deep fry the think. It's like eating pork tonkatsu, except instead with a crunchy and crispy crust covering a moist and tender soft-shell crab. Definitely, we will be frequenting this place more often. Plus, I still need to go back to try some Okinawan beer.
