Friday evening, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rysmiel, cattitude, and I went out for all-you-can-eat sushi etc. "Et cetera" because the all-you-can eat menu at this place includes sashimi (unusual for such), tempura, and a variety of other cooked foods, from dumplings to grilled fish.
The sushi and sashimi ranged from good to excellent (including the best mackerel sashimi I've had in a couple of years); the only disadvantage is that the menu doesn't (yet) describe what's in many of the named rolls. On the "anything for a weird life" theory, we ordered a honey roll. It turned out to be something like a salmon skin roll, but with more of the actual salmon left on, and with a honey-based sauce. One of my companions suggested that this was similar to the sauce on grilled eel sushi, but the effect was quite different; the eel sauce is sweet but savory, and this was mostly honey. I won't be pining for this roll, but I might order it again, if I was with other people who wanted to share it (six pieces would be too much for me).
[ETA: This was 999 Sushi, on Rue St. Denis at Sherbrooke. It hasn't been open long, and the menu marks a number of choices as "dinner only," but I think you could eat well there at lunchtime too, for less money.
ETA2: We went back for lunch about a month later, and did in fact eat well, but I missed some of the dinnertime variety. The "honey roll" was a bit different this time, though still good. Note: the lunchtime menu doesn't include sashimi.]
