This was my first trip to Roy’s in AZ. It was the same as I remembered it in HI - well, different rice and veggies alongside. I recall Roy’s Poipu had served it with black rice. Sadly, the new Roy’s on Kaua’i (Eating House 1849) doesn’t have it other than in the Kamameshi (hot pot bowl) - much less fish, but still tasty. So, this in AZ was a real treat. Super expensive, however. $52!
BTW, it’s supposedly Alaskan black cod.
