| - I've been on a sushi kick as of late (see: always). More so than usual, as I've had it 3 times in the last week. After the disappointment that was Kin Sushi at YYCFM, I was hesitant to get sushi again at the Farmers Market, but what convinced me to try out Big Catch was:
A) The positive reviews from trusted Yelp homies
B) The varied vegan options on their menu
C) The friendly sushi chefs that were making rolls right before your eyes, rather than making them all in the morning and packaging them in sad looking Safeway-esque trays
D) The long lineup
I ordered the Veggie Catch Combo, which consisted of their veggie roll (romaine lettuce, daikon, avocado and cucumber), avocado roll, and cucumber roll. I also ordered a seaweed salad.
The server taking my order noticed that I had ordered vegetarian items and let me know that their seaweed salad normally comes with caviar on top, but they would be happy to leave it out. He also gave me a Big Catch card, which is a card they stamp for every $10 you spend. After you hit ten, you get a complimentary roll. After paying, I was handed a beeper and told my dishes would be ready soon.
The wait wasn't very long, and I was presented with a beautiful tray of food that was garnished with the most adorable carrot, radish and wasabi flowers. Everything was delicious, and I really appreciated that the veggie roll wasn't so large that everything fell apart the moment I dipped it in to soy sauce. The care for preparation was very evident with each bite. I also appreciated that their pickled ginger wasn't dyed a bizarre, nuclear shade of pink. The wasabi at Big Catch ain't nothin' to eff with. It's wonderfully potent.
The only downside to Big Catch is that they're only open 4 days a week, and only during 9-5 (with takeout hours during 5-7), but if you can hang tight until the end of the week to fill your belly with huppay sushi goodness, they are worth waiting for.
