Sushi Chef, Salt Rock Grill By Simona Terceira If you haven’t been to Salt Rock Grill for sushi you can’t say that you had the best sushi on the island. Salt Rock Grill offers the widest selection of sushi, 14 appetizers, 9 tempura, 13 Nigiri, 13 sashimi, 11 special rolls and 25 Salt Rock Grill rolls. Nothing goes better with sushi than a chilled glass of sake or a sake cocktail from the cocktail list. Now let’s meet Bobby Bergantin! He is an amazing sushi chef and is well known for his sushi creations. So be sure to ask for something special if you don’t see it on the menu. Yes, you read that right; you don’t have to stick to the menu. You can get adventurous and ask Bobby to create something unique for you. Bobby started as an assistant sushi chef back in Philippines in 1999, at a Japanese restaurant called Komoro Soba. After 5 years he became a head sushi chef and in 2006 he came to Bermuda. He is the only sushi chef at Salt Rock Grill and you can find him there from Tuesday to Sunday, lunch or dinner. What do you enjoy the most at your job? I have many regular customers that come to the sushi bar and together we create unique rolls. I like to be challenged. If you tell me what type of fish you like, I will create something unique for you. As a matter of fact I have a client that named one of my creations after himself. His name is Lee Jay and he comes here 4 times a week for dinner all the way from Devonshire, often bringing his wife or friends. The Lee Jay Special is an avocado boat. You will have to come here and order it to see why it is so special. Why is your sushi different from other restaurants? I have the generic sushi rolls on my menu but I also have rolls that you can find only here at Salt Rock Grill. I try to only use local fish, tuna, wahoo or snapper.
