Fat Salmon Sushi

"You go to Fat Salmon when you want sushi topped with chaos (things like pineapple cilantro, pico de gallo, and broccoli pesto). That style isn't for everyone. But it does sort of work because of the high-quality fish. The pink and blue mood lighting in the dining room also might make you feel like you’re at a club in Miami, but not as rowdy and with fewer gold chains." - candis mclean, alison kessler

"The Deal: $40 Dinner Fat Salmon is one of our go-to places to get sushi in the area. During CCRW, they'll have a tasting menu of all the hits so you can find out why. Choose between starters like spicy cauliflower tempura or avocado salad with chicken katsu and then head to mains of rainbow, volcano, and veggie tempura rolls. Pair it all with a $14 yuzu margarita and you'll have a satisfying night." - candis mclean

"Fat Salmon is a solid sushi spot on the border of Center City and Old City—and it’s a great place for a small group dinner to start your night. They serve big platters of interesting rolls that include things like plum paste and pico de gallo and they’re perfect for sharing. Their cocktails are much better than you’d expect from a neighborhood sushi spot, and they also have pink and blue mood lighting that’ll remind you of a club, but without the loud music and people stepping on your toes with five-inch heels. So really, you should just spend your night eating and drinking here and ditch whatever you had planned next. Their kitchen stays open until 11pm on weekends, so it’s totally doable." - Sydney McElwee
