This dish may not look like much, but it'll make you go mmm the whole time. Along with the bluefin toro, it's one of the best things at Sushi Delight, and some of the better toro I've had. Both of those items are specials, so they might not be available all the time. This toro is albacore, so its slightly less fatty than bluefin toro, but tastes pretty close. The texture is softer than bluefin toro so it still melts in your mouth nicely. I always try to prolong the experience of toro by eating it v e r y s l o w l y and hope more will magically appear, but it never does. Otherwise, I'd be sitting there for days gorging myself. Since we go to Sushi Delight regularly, the chef always hooks us up with something really fresh, this time it was the albacore toro, which was a special treat. I'm not sure if it's always this good, or if we're only getting it at its best, but you can ask the chef yourself what's really fresh and he'll recommend something good.
