Quite a FISH STORY

SuBI is really on a roll.

If you’re a big sushi fan, consider this: You could enjoy a different sushi roll at SuBI Japanese Restaurant every week for a year and still not sample all of them.

And these are no ordinary rolls. For example, the Bainbridge Roll is a salmon and avocado roll topped with tuna, red crab meat and capelin roe (masago). The Black Widow is soft shell crab tempura, cucumber and avocado, kanikama mix topped with torched escolar, black tobiko and unagi sauce.

The most expensive roll on the menu? The Hypnotic— a baked avocado, cucumber and kanikama mix roll topped with langostino lobster tail, shrimp and mozzarella cheese. It will set you back $25.

Of course, you’ll also find more familiar rolls, such as California and Spicy Tuna, as well as traditional Japanese dishes, from sukiyaki to udon to tempura to bento boxes.

For the ultimate sushi experience, SuBI owner Richard Lee suggests you reserve a spot at one of SuBI’s Tatami rooms. “Or for an up-close view of our sushi chefs preparing your sushi, ask to sit at the sushi bar,” he said. It’s the perfect spot for watching the creation of rolls, such as Caterpillar, Cherry Blossom, Rainbow, Rock & Roll, Red Dragon, Salmon Love…Fredericks. The result is eclectic tapas, charcuterie and mains, plus wine and cocktails served in a cozy, rusticchic setting that’s perfect for socializing.

Laura Silverstein’s work ranges from earthy bluegrass on banjo to the relaxing melodies on her 2012 album “Happiness is a Warm Guitar.” More recently she’s delved into moodier tango music. It’s up to you to choose which wine pairs best with this eclectic catalog. Reservations recommended.

June 7, 6–8 p.m. at Fletcher Bay’s Coppertop Location fletcherbaywinery.com

2. The Bard at BloedelThe Tempest

Any production of Shakespeare’s “The Tempest” is full of magic, but when it’s staged by BPA at the Bloedel Reserve, that magic is sure to multiply. Grab a lawn chair or blanket and enjoy a (hopefully) balmy summer evening of theater in one of the most picturesque spots on the island. Snacks and non-alcoholic drinks are welcome.

June 22 - July 9, 7 p.m. bainbridgeperformingarts.org

3. Grand Old Fourth

B.I.’s Grand Old Fourth has all the trappings of a small-town community celebration: live music, street vendors and, of course, the parade. For early risers, the day will kick off with a traditional pancake breakfast and— for those who prefer exercise to eating— a fun run.

4. Sounds of Summer Concert Series

This summer’s catalog of Battle Point concerts features tribute groups for ABBA, Van Morrison and Steely Dan, along with a slate of PNW bands playing original tunes. Pack a picnic and shoes you can dance in (or just dance barefoot).

5. Rotary Auction & Rummage Sale

They say summer in the PNW starts on July 4, but on Bainbridge it starts with what might be the world’s largest rummage sale. Get there early to run for a bike or fancy camping gear, or come later if you prefer to dig through mounds of vintage sweaters at a more relaxed pace.

6. BIMA Summer Art Market

Swing by the plaza outside Bainbridge Island Museum of Art on a Sunday in July for a festive art market, complete with live music. Each day of the market will feature different local art vendors and musicians, so you may want to keep coming back.

7. Bainbridge Pride Festival

While normally observed in June to commemorate the Stonewall Riots, Bainbridge’s Pride festivities will take place a bit later. Since its inception celebrating the Supreme Court’s 2015 ruling on same-sex marriage, Bainbridge Pride has blossomed into a full-blown festival designed to honor and foster community among LGBTQIA islanders. July 15, 1–9 p.m. bainbridgepride.org

8. Movies in the Park

9. Pickleball Founders Tournament

Bainbridge made a cameo in the New Yorker last summer, when the magazine wondered whether the island’s most holy sport could “save America.” You can come to your own conclusion this August at the Founders Tournament run by the Historical Museum at Battle Point Park.
