Exquisite Sushi Delight: Discover the Na Pali Roll at Dolphin Poʻipū

In this video, we're at the Dolphin Poipu, a fantastic sushi bar, restaurant, and fish market. Join me as I demonstrate how to create the exquisite Na Pali Roll.

Our expert fish cutters have provided us with a beautiful cut of Ahi tuna, perfect for this roll. First, we remove the sinew section, ensuring we have the best meat for our sushi.

Now, let's dive into the creation of the famous Na Pali Roll. We start by grabbing a bamboo rolling mat and placing a sheet of crisp nori on top, covered with cellophane. To prevent sticking, we slightly dampen our hands before handling the rice. It's crucial to evenly spread the rice to all four corners of the nori.

Next, we add our high-quality ingredients. Alaska snow crab, cucumber, and Avo go right down the center of the nori. Now comes the rolling technique. Using all our fingers, we bring the nori to the edge of the mat, compressing the ingredients inside. Gently bring the lip of the nori to meet the other end, being careful not to squeeze too hard and smash the rice grains. Utilize the rolling mat to perfect the shape.

Voila! We've created a California roll, which serves as the base for the Na Pali Roll. For an extra touch, we add local tuna from our fish market. If you have any questions or need recommendations, our knowledgeable fish market workers are here to assist you.

At Dolphin Poipu, we pride ourselves on having fresh fish daily, thanks to local fishermen who bring in new catches seven days a week. To ensure the fish doesn't stick to the mat, we use Saran wrap while cutting. Once squared off, make fluid cutting motions—once forward, once back. Finally, garnish with a sprinkle of green onions.

Join us at Dolphin Poipu to savor the delicious Na Pali Roll and many other delightful creations. We're open from 11 AM to 3 PM for lunch and from 5:30 PM to 9:30 PM for dinner. Don't forget to visit our fish market, open daily from 10 AM to 7 PM.
