Eat Sushi in St. Thomas: "Do you want raw or cooked?" This question isn't one I often hear at sushi joints, but it's what the server at Beni Iguana's Sushi Bar on St. Thomas tosses out when I ask for a roll recommendation. Order It Raw: The place has been open for 21 years, but its clientele plays it safe. When my friend and I answer in unison, "Raw," the chef glances up. We start talking. He asks how much we want to spend and how adventurous we feel. My friend, the CEO, says, "About $100 and very." Sushi Parade: Pinks, oranges and whites trot over the Plexiglas divide as the chef watches us eat. He doesn't speak much English, but when we smile, he beams. The crowning moment: smoked eel between two bricks of scrambled egg, drizzled in eel sauce. Wash It Down with a glass of Turley Dogtown Zinfandel at Grande Cru, about an eight-minute walk from Beni's. Get There: Beni's is in the Havensight Mall, steps from the Havensight Dock. | Photo By Zach Stovall
