Ocean Sushi | Paradise’s Hidden Seafood Gem

🍣 Ocean Sushi | Paradise’s Hidden Seafood Gem 📍 First Impressions A cozy 10-seater in a Paradise strip mall, where Newfoundland meets Tokyo: • Vibe: Nautical-meets-anime (fishing nets + Totoro posters) • Soundtrack: Lo-fi whale sounds (yes, really) • Smell: Toasted sesame oil + faint ocean brine Pro Tip: Sit at the sushi bar – chef gives free scallop samples if you’re friendly! 🍱 Must-Try Dishes 1. Local Sashimi Platter ($28) 🐟 • Seasonal Stars: • Newfoundland cod (winter) → buttery texture • Mackerel (summer) – oily richness • Cut Style: Thick slabs (ask for "thin cut" if preferred) • Upgrade: +$4 for aburi torch-searing (melts the fat!) 2. Teppanyaki Squid ($16) 🦑 • Texture: Tender-chewy (not rubber bands!) • Sauce Hack: Mix wasabi + soy into mayo dip • Secret: Uses local squid (caught in Conception Bay) 3. Katsu Don ($18) 🐖 • Crunch Level: Panko armor stays crispy under egg • Portion: Pork cutlet bigger than the bowl • Hidden Gem: Comes with miso-pickled veggies 4. Off-Menu Ramen ($15) 🍜 • Broth: Miso-tonkotsu hybrid (cloudy richness) • Noodles: Alkaline chew (like Hong Kong wonton mee) • Toppings: Charred corn + seaweed (ask for extra) 📊 Price Check Dish Price Worth It? Sashimi Platter $28 ✅ (local fish!) Squid Teppan $16 ✅✅ Katsu Don $18 ✅ (huge portion) Ramen $15 ✅ (off-menu gem) Verdict: 15-20% cheaper than downtown St. John’s 💡 Insider Tips 1. Fish Freshness: • Tues/Thurs = cod delivery days • Avoid Mondays – fish is frozen 2. Spice Hack: Ask for "yuzu kosho" (citrus-chili paste) 3. Parking: Free lot behind building (look for sushi sign) Regret: Not trying the scallop dynamite roll (next time!) NewfoundlandEats #ParadiseNL #SushiLover
