AMAZING
1st AHI WITH PONZU, RED SHISO AND KUKUI NUT SALT
Mama's Fish House, Paia
Again... an amazing pairing with the salty shiso and the exotic salt. This ahi was a brilliant color, flopping on the floor fresh and almost too beautiful to eat. But you know we did! Also part of the "papa's three fish sashimi".
2nd ONAGA WITH CHARRED PINEAPPLE, POMEGRANATE AND HAWAII BLACK SEA SALT
Mama's Fish House, Paia
Last member of the trio, but definitely not the least, this fish was absolutely sumptuous - a wonderful match with the slightly smoky pineapple. Again, the salt finished the dish with perfection.
3rd PANKO CRUSTED AHI SASHIMI SUSHI ROLL
Sansei Seafood Restaurant & Sushi Bar, Lahaina
The waitress insisted on having this - and law abiding Mr Carastian of course follows instructions. Sashimi grade Hawaiian Ahi, arugula and spinach, rolled together like a fine Cuban cigar, Panko crusted and then flash fried and served in the signature soy sauce butter sauce... Simple and simply delicious - yet not the winner of the dinner.
4th SALMON SKIN ROLL
Sansei Seafood Restaurant & Sushi Bar, Lahaina
Crispy and tasty and wonderful salmon skin, rolled to perfection with Kula greens, tomato and spicy masago aioli. Perfection on a plate. More please!
5th NISSEI COMBINATION
Sansei Seafood Restaurant & Sushi Bar, Lahaina
Wow... Simply wow. That freshness blew out mind... Ahi, yellow tail, shiromi , shrimp, salmon, tamago and spicy roll... BRING ME MORE!
6th SPICY TUNA ROLL
Sansei Seafood Restaurant & Sushi Bar, Lahaina
Of the Nissei combination. Spicy, yet well balanced and wonderful to eat a great texture and even better flavors that are put together masterfully.
7th SHRIMP TEMPURA ROLL
Sansei Seafood Restaurant & Sushi Bar, Lahaina
With veggies and and unagi glaze. Crunchy, tasty - wonderful.
8th MARLIN ROLL
Sansei Seafood Restaurant & Sushi Bar, Lahaina
Aka Pièce de résistance. Why waste precious tummy space on dessert when you can order this, of the daily specials menu. Sashimi grade marlin, filled with marlin tartare and topped with tempura flakes. Crunchy, silky and working beautifully with the Srirarcha sauce. wonderful and worth every cent as it was not discounted (happy hour from 530 to 7 - all are 25% off unless stated otherwise) This... was simply wow...
REALLY GOOD
9th NIGIRI
SHOYA am Viktualienmarkt, München
Another sampler... not as tasty as the first but a great little assortment of sushi nibbles. Still can't get on board with rolls that include mayonnaise. Noteworthy was that 3 of these lovelies were 'blowtorched' which really brought out the flavor... a nice offering of tuna, salmon, shrimp, eel and one mysterious white fish. Tasty.
10th SHRIMP TEMPURA ROLL
SHOYA am Viktualienmarkt, München
Mrs. C's fave... crunchy shrimp tempura, avocado and teriyaki sauce rolled up into one yummy treat. Dip those babies in some VERY wasabi soaked soy sauce and HELLO!!! A funny side note - she is famous at this restaurant for asking them to cut it into 6 pieces instead of the usual 4. Apparently she just can't wrap her head (or mouth) around those really big pieces. ;*)
