Bazooka Roll (grilled salmon, veggie & flying fish roe)
I've been spoiled rotten with great tasting sushi at cheap prices my whole life in San Francisco.  Here in Grenada, it's a different story.  You have one sushi restaurant: Carib Sushi.  Good tasting sushi for prices I'm not used to paying, but hey, to have at least one Japanese restaurant in Grenada is all I really can ask for.  Since sushi is abundant (and therefore cheap) in San Francisco, I ate it all the time, but here, it's a luxury.  I ate at Carib Sushi 4 times so far and  have enjoyed every single roll I ordered.  They definitely come together well and the rice/meat/vegetable portions are great.  I definitely suggest for you to try out their rolls at least once.    I've also tasted their salmon fillet, which is tasty, but small in portion and big in price.  At IGA, you can get 5 times as much as you would get at Carib for the same price!  I always buy salmon from IGA and marinate and grill it so many different ways.  Definitely exciting and easier on the pocket.

If you come to Carib sushi, expect to pay a little extra to get a full meal, unless you're only looking for a snack.

My husband and I payed $191EC (~$70 USD) for three rolls and a salmon fillet.

Service is perfect and professional, there's an SGU bus stop right in front, and the restaurant is super cute and air conditioned.
