Portland, Maine | ISF Trading Restaurant Review

If you’re a seafood lover visiting Portland, Maine, ISF Trading is an absolute must-add to your list—even if you’re usually hesitant about sashimi like me! This spot serves up some of the freshest, most delicious raw seafood I’ve had, and it totally won me over. 🦞🍣 🍣✨ Homemade Uni & Salmon Roe Sushi Let me start with the star: their homemade sushi topped with uni (sea urchin) and salmon roe. I’m someone who’s always avoided raw fish in the past, but this? I ate it by the bite, no hesitation—it was that good. The combination of creamy uni, popping salmon roe, and perfectly seasoned rice was pure magic. 😊 🌊💛 Highly Recommend: Seawater Fresh Uni If there’s one thing you have to order, it’s their seawater fresh uni. It’s incredibly sweet, with zero fishy aftertaste—total game-changer. As a total sashimi newbie, I finished every last bite without a second thought. It’s clear the uni is super fresh, and that quality shines through in every mouthful. ✨ 🍱😋 Sashimi Set Their sashimi set is also worth trying! Most of the fish was fantastic, though the tuna had a slightly stronger flavor than I preferred. But the salmon roe? Mind-blowing. It was so delicious, I’d order it again in a heartbeat. 💯 That said, if you buy the salmon roe separately, there is a tiny bit of aftertaste—but it’s nothing compared to how tasty it is overall. 🕛⏰ Pro Tip for Timing They’re open from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM, and we visited twice around 3:00 PM both times—perfect timing. The rush had died down a bit, so we got our food quickly, and the seafood was still as fresh as can be. 👍 Whether you’re a seasoned seafood pro or a sashimi newbie like me, ISF Trading delivers. It’s easily one of my favorite finds in Portland! #MaineEats #PortlandMEFood #ISFTrading #UniSushi #SalmonRoe #Sashimi #SeafoodLovers #FoodieFind #SashimiNewbieFriendly #UniLovers
