April in Naples is a perfect time to indulge in fresh seafood while enjoying waterfront dining, and there’s no better place to experience this than Fish Restaurant. Known for its impeccable selection of best Sushi and Sashimi, Fish Restaurant continues to impress with both classic and innovative takes on Japanese cuisine. This month, the spotlight is on their expertly crafted specialty maki, traditional rolls, artful sushi and sashimi platters, and small plate options that are perfect for sharing or savoring solo.

With the arrival of spring in full bloom, the demand for light, refreshing, and expertly balanced flavors is at its peak. Whether you’re in the mood for bold and spicy combinations or the delicate simplicity of fresh sashimi, the menu at Fish Restaurant offers something for every palate. The setting is just as inviting as the food itself, with a chic yet relaxed atmosphere that makes dining here an experience, not just a meal.

The Art of Specialty Maki

Specialty maki rolls at Fish Restaurant are where creativity and craftsmanship come together. Each roll is thoughtfully constructed to highlight the best ingredients, blending flavors and textures that complement one another perfectly. One of the standout choices this month is the Crazy Ocean Roll. This roll layers shrimp tempura with salmon and Hamachi, then adds a rich kanikama mixture for depth of flavor. A sprinkle of tempura flakes and masago provides a satisfying crunch, while spicy mayo ties everything together with just the right amount of heat.

For those who love a little kick in their sushi, the Firecracker Tuna Roll is a must-try. With a base of fresh tuna, avocado, and cilantro, this roll incorporates jalapeño for a subtle spice that enhances rather than overpowers. Topped with even more tuna and finished with crispy tempura bits, it’s a perfect balance of cool and crunchy, mild and spicy.

If you’re looking for something decadent, the Sushi Lobster Roll is a luxurious choice. It features tempura lobster as the star ingredient, complemented by creamy avocado and crisp asparagus. A topping of tobiko and crab salad brings everything together, making it an indulgent yet balanced bite.

Each specialty maki roll is designed to offer an experience that goes beyond the ordinary. The combination of fresh seafood, unique textures, and expert presentation makes these rolls not just delicious but also visually stunning.

Classic Rolls Done Right

Sometimes, the best flavors come from simplicity, and that’s exactly what the classic rolls at Fish Restaurant deliver. These time-honored favorites remain a staple on the menu for good reason. The California Roll is always a crowd-pleaser, and at Fish Restaurant, it’s made with real crab, not imitation, setting it apart from the standard versions you’ll find elsewhere. The mix of avocado, cucumber, and masago, wrapped in perfectly seasoned rice, makes for a refreshing and satisfying bite every time.

Another favorite is the Rainbow Roll, a beautiful twist on the California Roll. Topped with slices of tuna, salmon, Hamachi, and avocado, it’s as much a feast for the eyes as it is for the taste buds. The delicate layering of fish creates a smooth, buttery texture that practically melts in your mouth.

For those who appreciate a bit of crunch in their sushi, the Shrimp Tempura Roll never disappoints. The contrast between the warm, crispy shrimp and the cool, creamy avocado creates a delightful combination that pairs wonderfully with a side of house-made soy sauce or spicy mayo.

Sushi and Sashimi Platters for Every Occasion

If you’re in the mood to truly immerse yourself in a sushi experience, the sushi and sashimi platters at Fish Restaurant are an excellent choice. Designed for sharing or for those who simply can’t decide on one or two options, these platters showcase the best cuts of fresh fish, prepared with precision.

A platter might include a mix of traditional nigiri, featuring selections like tuna, salmon, Hamachi, and unagi, each served over perfectly seasoned rice. The balance of fish-to-rice ratio is just right, allowing the natural flavors of the seafood to shine through.

Sashimi lovers will appreciate the delicate slices of pure fish, served without rice to highlight the freshness and quality of each cut. The simplicity of sashimi is what makes it so special—no distractions, just the clean, rich taste of expertly sourced seafood. Paired with freshly grated wasabi and house-made soy sauce, it’s an elegant and refined way to enjoy sushi.

For those looking to indulge, the chef’s selection platter offers a little bit of everything, making it a great option for groups or for anyone who enjoys variety. These platters are not only generous in portion but also meticulously arranged, making them a centerpiece-worthy dish for any table.

Small Plates to Satisfy Every Craving

Beyond sushi and sashimi, Fish Restaurant also offers a variety of small plates that are perfect for complementing your meal. These dishes bring a mix of textures and flavors that enhance the overall dining experience.

One of the most popular choices is the Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice. This dish takes lightly fried sushi rice and tops it with a flavorful spicy tuna mixture, finished with a touch of jalapeño for added heat. The contrast between the crispy rice and the soft, creamy tuna makes it an instant favorite.

For a lighter option, the Seaweed Salad is a refreshing way to start the meal. The delicate strands of seaweed are dressed in a sesame-soy vinaigrette that enhances their natural umami flavor. It’s a simple yet satisfying dish that pairs well with any sushi selection.

Another must-try small plate is the Hamachi Jalapeño, which combines thinly sliced yellowtail with citrusy ponzu sauce and a hint of spice from fresh jalapeño. The flavors are bright and clean, making it a great way to whet the appetite before diving into a sushi platter.
