Simply excellent. The best sushi you'll find in New Haven by a long shot. Rockfish manifests their noble philosophy, "Nigiri is truth." This is some of the highest quality fish I've ever had in my entire life (and I grew up on a tropical island). Order the Omakase and sit at the bar to receive starters of edamame and tuna sashimi in ponzu soy sauce, four rounds of nigiri, and two rolls–all freshly prepared in front of you. With every round, the wonderful staff explain what you're eating, where it's from, and how best to enjoy it. Critically, the fish, in all of its freshness and complexity of flavor, was the centerpiece of every single dish. Whether it was the creaminess of the yellowtail or the silky richness of the salmon, these sushi chefs knew how to perfectly complement the delicate flavor of the fish with a touch of wasabi and a bed of sushi rice. If you want to eat sushi as it was meant to be eaten, don't miss out on this special experience.
