SAMURAI JAPANESE CUISINE SUSHI BAR & GRILL

Though seafood is central to the area, the coast was somewhat slow to accept sushi. Spots like Samurai are now racking up believers. Try the Great Lady (snow crab, tuna, smelt roe and avocado in rice paper) and Blue Crab Naruto (snow crab, crab stick, smelt roe and avocado wrapped inside hand-sliced cucumber). $$(01/2011)
