Amy and the Blowfish

Get it, Hootie Amy and the Blowfish?

I’m so lucky to have the best friend/tour guide/foodie a girl could ask for. Krissy knows Toronto SOOOO well, and tonight we spent a couple hours walking around and seeing the sights. It was so fun!

We stopped for a sweet cool treat along the way.

Krissy suggested we try Blowfish. We both have an obsession with sushi, so it tends to be a trend whenever we get together.

The restaurant was set in an old bank. Very funky and modern. Loved it! My apologies in advance for the crappy pictures. It was hard to take pictures discreetly in a dimly lit place!

We started out with bevvies. Krissy had one of the sake cocktails and I had a pomegranate mojito cocktail.

We shared an order of veggie tempura for a starter. The veggies were unique… 3 types of mushrooms. snap peas, okra, peppers. zuchinni flowers, asparagus and lotus root.

Our main was 4 types of rolls.

We had:

•blue snow tuna, tai, salmon, kani, avocado, mango, gobo, cucumber, daikon sprout, blue curacao, kewpie

•orange & black salmon, mango, avocado, orange & black tobiko, yuzu drizzle

•okinawan deep fried sweet potato wrap, banana, avocado, mango-kewpie coulis

•chicken kara-age roll lightly battered chicken breast, avocado, lettuce, red tobiko, mango, strawberry kewpie

    

The rolls were amazing. So flavourful and unique tastings. I loved that they had some many different and unique flavours.

Dessert was the best part!

Mango tempura. Enough said.

Thanks for a wonderful night Krissy!
