No. 3: Sushi From Morimoto

The Iron Chef's restaurant in the Boca Resort has been listed before in 100 Favorite dishes. But it deserves another mention for its sushi which is elevated to a level unseen

anywhere else in South Florida. Morimoto flies in fish from around the

world daily for its privileged guests -- kohada (sardine/gizzard shad) and kinmedai

(goldeneye snapper) from Japan; kampachi (yellowtail) from deep Pacific

waters; and horse mackerel and melting uni from the Pacific coast. And

just when you thought you couldn't be surprised by sea eel (made in

house) or tamago (egg custard), you'll try Morimoto's versions and

wonder how you might go on living without daily doses of them. To say

everything is fresh and expertly prepared would be a vast

understatement. So I'll leave it in the words of Don Draper: "It's like

eating a mermaid."
