A Boat Load of Sushi

West Haven, Connecticut

Yesterday we celebrated my sons 13th birthday and his request was too eat as much sushi as possible lol. We went to our favorite Sushi/ Habachi spot and I ordered him literally a boat load of Sushi and Sashimi. My son was in heaven, we ate all of it as well and then went to Brielli's for some Gelato after. He was very happy with his Sushi dinner and gifts.

Seems a funny request for a 13 year old, but I guess the man knows what he likes!

Is your son already 13? I cannot believe it! I hope he was happy with the sushi you offered him, because what I see in the photo looks wonderful.

@BACONSTRIPSXXX I tried some kind of sushi when I was a teenager. It made me burp fish for three days... Then we found out I am allergic to fish.

@BACONSTRIPSXXX Have you tried poke? It's hawaiian and has the raw fish like sushi. It is often on a bed of rice or salad.
