“You have to go,” said my very pregnant friend. “I’ve been twice in one week.” “For sushi?” I replied, with a skeptical eye directed down at her belly. I’d been hearing a lot about Rice & Fish in recent months, but it wasn’t until my pal admitted to putting her fetus in danger that I decided to make the trip. Anything that could cause an expectant mother to throw caution to the wind must be awfully delicious. I arrived at this Sentier spot and immediately liked the space. Bright colors on the wall and a long window seat looking out at the neighborhood scene. On the menu: a long list of interesting maki, including lots of vegetarian options. I guess the pregnant friend isn’t so reckless after all. I started with Le Krunchy, a roll that normally combines avocado, secret sauce, and tempura shrimp. They substituted scallops on this particular day, much to my delight. The first roll looked enticing, tasted exciting, and was even fun to say.
