Date: Go to a Sushi Restaurant
Result: If you haven't caught the "sushi fever" that has swept across our nation for the past ten years, maybe it's time to give it a try. Many people who don't like sushi claim that they don't like raw fish. Well here's a quick cultural lesson for you: The Japanese term sushi does not mean "raw fish," it means "cold cooked rice." It is sashimi that is Japanese for "raw fish." You can get your sushi with veggies and cooked meat...or you can get it with raw meats. So if you have stayed away from sushi for that simple reason, we beg you to reconsider.
We went to "Nikki's" (http://www.nikkissushibar.com/#homewhich) is a local place with 2 locations. We got one down here on Pleasure Island last summer. When we arrived, we had the choice of sitting at a table or the bar. We opted to wait for a table...it was a "date" right? It's a pretty small restaurant and it was packed as usual. The service and food were both great. I told Maria that they were probably going to think we were food critics because we were taking pictures of every aspect of our date.
We split a ginger salad to start. Maria ordered: a Rockin Roll which had tuna, avocado, and crab. I had: a Super California Roll, Spicy Scallop Sushi, and Spicy Shrimp. Our overall experience was great. As always, Maria was much more adept at using chopsticks than I was. We definitely counted this as another success
