This rather interesting-sounding maki ($18) is stuffed with deep fried soft shell crab and topped with aburi-ed swordfish. The customary mountain of tobikko was present. One of the best parts of eating sushi is popping an entire maki into your mouth and feeling the ingredients just come together in the the first bite. The Crappy Maki gave me that experience, all the toppings and stuffings and rice melding together to form that perfect mouthful.

I preferred this slightly over the shiok maki because of the amazing crunch of the soft shell crab that provided such a lovely contrast to the silky fattiness of the swordfish. However it was a close call (mainly because of the shiok maki's heavenly sauce).

Perhaps topping this Crappy Maki with some shiok maki sauce would easily help elevate it to beyond shiok maki status.
