Even though we're landlocked, I'm a sucker for sushi places and had to check out Blu DTR in Rogers.
Between the lines: Blu DTR is not the same as Blu Fin in Springdale, but is the sister location to Blu Fish House in Bentonville.
The food: I opted for the Darwin roll ($19) — tuna, salmon, yellowtail, avocado and tobiko (roe). My companion ordered the City Hall ($18) with salmon, cucumber, jalapeño, avocado, crab, yellowtail and roe.
- Again, we're landlocked, so unless it's large-mouth bass, trout, or catfish, the raw ingredients traveled more than 1,000 miles to my plate.
- Yes, but: It held up well in the journey. It was as fresh-tasting as you're likely to get in these parts, and the addition of sauces, roe and veggies makes a roll more than just fish.
The setup: There's a street-side patio surrounded by palms, and the dining room appears to be the former firehouse garage of the Old City Hall.
- It's an intimate place, perfect for a quick lunch or an after-work drink and light dinner.
Stop by: Serving 11am-2pm and 5-8:30pm Tuesday-Thursday; 11am-2pm and 5-9pm on Friday and Saturday at 214 W. Elm St. in Rogers.
