If you’ve never experienced an “omakase” [お任せ] – a Japanese meal where you leave all decisions in the hands of establishment’s chef -- then head on over to SUNSET SUSHI, at 2433 N Federal Hwy, in Boca Raton. At Chef David Bouhadana’s place you’ll be seated at a small sushi counter (which only fits eight) and, over a two-hour period, will partake of some stellar sushi courses selected by the house. [Believe it or not, at $150 per person, before any extras (like tax, tip and any a la carte items), it’s not the most expensive version of this kind of dinner out there. Quite a few other places are asking $250 per person, and even more. Yet, despite its relatively lower cost, it’s still not readily affordable by many.]▫️
Next up was some “King Kampachi,” which are widely regarded as among the ocean’s hardest fighters, such that they’re nicknamed “El Pez Fuerte;” the strong fish. Here in the US, they’re called the “Alamo Jack.” A member of the Carangidae family, they’re found in the western Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Ocean feeding on smaller fish and invertebrates. With a lifespan of about 17 years, their weight can range between 14-30 pounds (6.3-13.6 kg), but some have been known to exceed 130 pounds (59 kg).

When served raw, expect a clean, crisp bite and a rich, buttery flavor. And as an extra bonus, expect some nice health benefits, as it’s full of high-quality proteins and heart-healthy Omega-3s. (And they supposedly harbor no detectable mercury or PCBs.)

Because we enjoyed this offering, we unanimously rated it (a near perfect) “A-,” with only the meal’s price point triggering some point deductions.

It’s been famously said that “every sunset is a journey.” Well, you’re certain to have an enthralling, culinary one at Chef Bou’s SUNSET SUSHI.
