Just as the name implies, you'll find "flying fish" everywhere at this Carmel Plaza restaurant. Along with these colorful papier-mâché decorations that hang from the ceiling, the restaurant features Japanese-style wooden booths with beautiful fabric seat cushions and a cozy, intimate atmosphere. The seafood-based menu--just like the decor--features Japanese touches; grilled chicken features a ginger-soy glaze and steamed vegetables and rice, while oven-roasted salmon is prepared with sesame seeds and soy-lime cream sauce. A nice touch is the friend won-tons served with ginger salsa before your meal (instead of bread).
