| - I am, admittedly, a sushi snob. We were hoping for a little taste of Vancouver but were sorely disappointed.
We ordered sashimi, some toro and sockeye salmon nigiri, and a ginger soda.
The fish was mediocre at best. Not silky, not smooth, not melt-in-your-mouth. Some pieces were even fishy which made the experience that much worse. The colour, the texture, it was all off.
I should've said something. I definitely could've said something. Your fish is bad? It wasn't spoiled. The slices were decent in size. It just wasn't... tasty. You know when you eat something and you're like "Mmmm... Whoah.... SO GOOD...!!!"? Yeah well this wasn't it. It was more like, "Geez... I spent 40 bucks so I'm going to eat it... Dammit..." What could I have said? Nothing.
If you want some rolls, if you want to be ethical about your fish consumption, that's all fine and dandy... because you will like it. The feel-good aspect: "I'm saving the fish! I'm doing the right thing!" I get it. I want to do my part too. However, if you're looking for fresh, traditional sushi or sashimi, you must go somewhere else.
The information from newspapers and online through social media, and of course the Ocean Wise certification brought us in, but the food itself (blech) has completely turned us off from returning.
