At Salt Lake City’s Hamachi Grill and Sushi Bar, fresh fish is the foundation for creative rolls and bowls

Just when Salt Lake City seemed to have reached the sushi restaurant saturation point, along came Hamachi Pescatarian Grill and Sushi Bar, proving there is always room for one more when quality and value combine.

Hamachi is primarily a sushi restaurant serving high-quality salmon, octopus, several varieties of tuna, scallop, mackerel and shrimp in various forms — including raw, seared and cooked.

With the name Hamachi, it’s no surprise the restaurant also offers yellowtail. (The term “hamachi” typically refers to Japanese amberjack, which often is listed as yellowtail on menus.) Guests will find several sashimi, nigiri and roll preparations of this delicious fish — plus a carpaccio special ($17.
