Here is one of our most frequented nosh spots. We can always rely on Blü Fish for great sushi and hot saké to keep us warm in the winter. They have a fairly wide variety of rolls both on the veggie and non-veggie side. Their caterpillars are fantastic and they are generous with the wasabi (if you’re into that sort of thing).

One of my favourite things about this place is the plates that the sushi comes on. Every time it’s something new, be it the purple galaxy or the silver leaf boat, it’s always a classy surprise.

The atmosphere would be quite bright with its red walls if it weren’t for the lack of light. Not so great for taking photos, but nice if you want to have a relaxing lunch. Although it’s probably one of the more spensive sushi places to go to in the area, it’s still one of our favourites. We recommend it.

Here’s a link to the full-size version of the panorama.

If you live in Winnipeg, it’s pretty much a given that you’ve been to The Paddle Wheel (located on the top floor of The Bay downtown). But for whatever reason, Thom and I had only heard stories of this mythical senior’s haven. Having lived in Winnipeg my whole life, I didn’t really have an excuse, but Thom has only lived here for three years (most of those years spent trapped in University), so it was about time I caught up with Winnipeg culture and had lunch at The Paddle Wheel.

I headed straight for the salad bar and immediately lost Thom and Andrew. It probably would have been a good idea to stick with Andrew seeing as how he was an old pro. After loading my plate with almost every salad imaginable, I realized that if I wanted a hot sandwich, the best bet was to go to the meal counter and place an order. And then after realizing that, I found the infamous jell-o back at the salad bar – which required a whole plate to itself.

The whole time I was collecting plates of food, doing unorganized laps around the entire buffet area, I forgot that the price of your meal depends solely on how much your tray weighs. So this was by far the most expensive meal that I’ve had so far on Eating Out Winnipeg. Mere pennies when thinking about what it is to experience a part of Winnipeg history.

Oh and the food was pretty okay.

So when your battery starts to die don’t worry about charging it, just chuck it in the trash and buy a new one!
