I’ve been an ambassador for Lucky Robot this year and have had the pleasure of visiting monthly to try out their delicious Japanese cuisine. One of my favourite things about them (besides their excellent cuisine) is their passion for seafood sustainability. I’ve enjoyed sooo many amazing things on the menu and I’m here to report my absolute faves!

Lucky Robot is continually supporting sustainable programs like Time Out For Tuna – every Tuesday they serve everything BUT tuna. When they do serve tuna, it’s only ever line caught Hawaiian Bigeye. You can read more about their sustainability efforts here!

Tuna, salmon, amberjack, striped bass sashimi over sushi rice, avocado, english cucumber, daikon pickles, sesame and 144 degree egg
