Description

High ceilings and dark furniture provide a hip and elegant atmosphere in which to nosh on Japanese cuisine. The restaurant carries the standard assortment of sushi including salmon, yellowtail and shrimp tempura, as well as a list of specialty rolls for the more adventurous. Soups, salads, and noodles are also available in addition to heartier entrees such as braised short ribs with garlic mashed potatoes and an assortment of vegetables. The luminescent glow of the red lights against the dusky walls provides a warm intimacy that makes this spot ideal for dates.

    Whatever its name, The Fish (formerly known as Blowfish) is exceptionally titillating. It's identified on the outside solely by the abstract image of a spiny puffer fish. And on the inside, the color scheme is repeated in everything from the waitstaff's red ties and black shirts to the black napkins and red banquettes. And the after-hours scene here is as intriguing as the original name suggested. Blowfish, or fugu in Japanese, is the most dangerous and exciting of sushi experiences. Treated... More »

    "When you kill someone, you get a tattoo," the guy sitting next to me at The Fish (309 Gray, 713-526-5294) explains to his friend as he points to his arm. Given that we're at the epicenter of the yuppie universe, the intersection of Gray and Brazo... More »

    Raw Deal

    By Marene Gustin | Thu, September 18, 2003

    Long before recall elections, eating raw was all the rage in La-La Land. But it's actually got nothing on the Japanese, who were serving up uncooked delicacies even before Madonna's first transformation. Fish (309 West Gray, 713-526-5294) has been... More »

    Tuna Melt

    By Paul Galvani | Thu, August 29, 2002

    At The Fish (309 Gray, 713-526-5294), the presentation of each dish is as dramatic as the restaurant's decor. The spicy tuna rice salad ($10) is no exception. The bottom of the plate is covered by a handful of field greens mixed with thin slices o... More »

    Nice place to go for lunch if you work in the area. Plus they have several chicken/ beef dishes if you aren't into sushi.

    Great Mid-Town location, with great atmosphere and good music. The menu carries a good selection of rolls and sashimi. Eating here in the evening is better experience.
