Went to the location on Main last night. Ordered the bland oysters, yummy but gritty clams, and the catfish with fries.
Now, there's a reason catfish is never served in sushi: it's not meant to be eaten raw!! I have photos posted on yelp for your review. Just search for raw catfish.
My brother and I each had 1 fillet out of 5 and immediately noticed the fish was off. We didn't want to make a big deal out of it at first, but decided not to risk food poisoning. When we asked the manager, Sao, for a HALF order of shrimp in exchange, we were told that the policy was not to return food simply because customers weren't satisfied. Uh, did I mention the fish was RAW and so RANCID that my cat would vomit it out?
We were then told that their fish was always prepared this way and that catfish has a smell to it. True, catfish has grassy undertones--not old fishy ones. BTW, we've eaten at the same location before and have never been so unhappy with the fish. The food was left unexchanged.
Felt bad for the servers; not their fault the manager showed such bad judgment and that the company has a policy which endangers public health. I immediately called my credit card company and had the charges reversed. Still suffered through the squirts today.
Bad, raw seafood can have very bad consequences. Save your tummy and stay away!!
