John’s Mom Roll, Mizu Ken Sushi, Bayport
883 Montauk Hwy, Bayport
When I first tried this uniquely named roll, I had an irrational thought, “Is that bacon I taste?” Of course not, dummy. So, no bacon (sorry to disappoint), but inside that marble seaweed you will find shrimp tempura, snow crab, avocado and cucumber, with tobiko (flying fish roe) and spicy mayo to top it off.
This roll does have cooked components, so sushi purists may cast it aside, but they shouldn’t. What they should do is introduce it to their uncle who refuses to eat sushi because the only fish he eats are crab cakes and clam strips. He will be pleasantly surprised, even if you have to order him a pint of Sapporo to wash it down.
