Crush

Wednesday night I dinned at Crush, a fabulous sushi located in Seaside, Fl along. 30A. I am the next thing to obsessed with Sushi, it is one of my favorite things to eat! Needless to say I have been to many sushi restaurants, some good, some surprisingly good, the ok ones, and a couple of bad ones. Luckily Crush was up there with good Sushi restaurants I have been to! I love their outside dinning area, what could be better then twinkle lights, a view of the town square, and the sound of the ocean that is only a few yards away from the restaurant. The service at Crush was wonderful and they are so accommodating; I have a sister who has a server seafood allergy and they were able to accommodate her and make her a veggie roll {it is pretty rare to go to a sushi bar and they are willing to accommodate a person with a seafood allergy}.

I had the Sunset roll {left} and the Volcano roll {right}. I have to say that I like the Volcano roll the best out of all the rolls I ate, but all rolls were very good. I loved the baked spicy krab salad that was on the Volcano roll; I really like spicy food so of course the spicy krab salad element was a hit with me. Shrimp, avocado, and crunch was also included in the Volcano roll, I really enjoyed all of the elements. The Sunset roll, which was made up of spicy krab salad, avocado, and tempura crunch was really good as well.

For my third roll since I was staying in Seaside and Crush is in Seaside well…naturally I had to try the Seaside roll. The seaside roll was made up of shrimp, spicy krab salad, avocado, lemon, crunch, and garlic chipotle aioli. For me this roll was refreshing and something different, the thin lemon slice on top of the roll was really refreshing, but at the same time I’m not really sure I enjoyed such a citrusy element. I did however enjoy the other element of this roll.

From 4-6 during the week and I believe on the weekends too, Crush has a Happy Hour where some sushi rolls are half priced. I know what you are thinking…I am always skeptical of half priced sushi, but their sushi Happy Hour sushi was amazing!

I was totally smitten with their outside dinning area…a good set of twinkle lights gets me every time. I loved watching the sunset and hear the ocean all while sitting in the outside dinning area. Crush also has space heaters outside which is nice for a cold night and there is always an inside area to dine {my phone died before I could get a good picture of the inside but you can see a little of the interior in the fourth picture of this post}.
