Sushi Hiro

Friday, November 20, 2009 - We ate unagi (eel), toro (tuna belly), salmon, mackerel, scallop, seabream, seabass, yellowtail, surf clam, crab, squid, ama ebi (sweet shrimp), salmon eggs; in summary they were all very fresh and there were no complaints at all...It was always going to be a bit hard to impress me after the spotted prawns, but the anago (sea eel) managed to do just that. Although it looked like a bit of a mess on the plate, the incredibly creamy texture was just amazing. Although I've eaten unagi (freshwater eel) several times before, this anago is new to me and it was a delight to try.

Wednesday, July 22, 2009 - Sushi-Hiro isn't for vegetarians or those who aren't fans of raw fish, and the menu lists just sushi and sashimi. There are no noodle, rice or little starter dishes either, unlike at other Japanese restaurants. For those who are fans, it's sushi heaven!...The total came to less than 40 for two, including sake and tea, but not service charge. I'm looking forward to the next meal, when I'll probably order sushi a la carte and try the sashimi as well. There are no frills at Sushi-Hiro, but who needs them when there is such fresh fish and seafood on offer?
