PESCETARIAN SATURDAY - Maybe it's the plum wine talking

I'd almost forgotten about my made up Pescetarian Day, but when I remembered, I stopped at Hiro in North Miami Beach for sushi.  Maybe it's the plum wine talking, but I'm in a pretty good mood.  Maybe it's the food.

Wanting to be adventurous (read: YOUNG), I ordered things I've never ordered before, starting with plum wine.  It's very sweet and kinda has a delayed reaction, for which I'm rather grateful.  Thanks HIRO!

Then I asked for sashimi - tuna, sweet shrimp, salmon and white fish.  My favorites were the salmon and white fish, but I didn't order enough pieces to really fill me up for dinner.  The fish was amazingly fresh!

 So I turned to what I know, teriyaki salmon.  Wow!  It was generous and cooked nicely.  It'll feed me again tomorrow.

They also have Japanese Marble Soda.  Choice of flavors: strawberry, lychee and blueberry.  I had lychee.  It reminded me of a light and refreshing Sprite.  There is a real glass marble in the bottle.

I watched the staff prepare one after another big boat of sushi samplers.  It was fun to watch.  They're like artisans.

The manager tells me they have specials every week.  This week's special is lava tuna roll.

  1. The teriyaki salmon looks delish! Is that thing that looks like a head part of the shrimp? From Food Network shows, I believe I've seen them/heard them say sucking the head of the shrimp is a wonderful treat. I like my shrimp, but, sucking the head, I'm not very sure about that! :D

    1. Yes it was delicious! I believe that was the head of my shrimp, yes. I did not suck it. It didn't occur to me to do that, and if someone had suggested that's what I was supposed to do, I would have declined. Not for me.
