Sushi in the Bahamas

As a fish-loving nation, the Bahamas would seem to be the perfect place for a good sushi house to set up shop. The good news for sushi lovers is that there is indeed good sushi to be had in the Bahamas.

As you would expect, most of the fish served as sushi is imported from cold waters, as is the case for most countries in the world. Large tuna from cold waters taste better and come in frozen. However, you can get some excellent fresh local fish too. In particular, the conch sushi and red snapper sushi are outstanding and come highly recommended.
