When shopping with us at Las Vegas Market this summer, we encourage seafood and sushi lovers to explore the city and experience some serious eats. From a casual dinner out, to a light grab-and-go, to an exquisite night on the town, there is an option for every taste in the list we’re sharing. And in case anyone needs us to go back out to Vegas for a second tasting, we’d be happy to. Enjoy!

  • Sushi Hiroyoshi – 5900 W. Charleston Blvd., Las Vegas, NV 89146 – (702) 823-2110 (for a refreshingly fresh experience, we recommend the sashimi, or sushi and sushi rolls)
  • Naked Fish’s Sushi & Grill – 3945 S. Durango Dr. #A6, Las Vegas, NV 89147 – (702)-228-8856 (voted the best sushi in Las Vegas over 14 years, try the “For Sizzle My Nizzle” for something spicy & different but entirely legal)
  • The Water Grill – 3500 S. Las Vegas Blvd., Las Vegas, NV 89109 – (702) 832-4777 (the photos on their website speak volumes and are not only worth the scroll, but worth more than any words we could add)
  • The Boilery Seafood & Grill – 2605 S. Decatur Blvd., Las Vegas, NV 89102 – (702) 405-8838 (one of the newest restaurants on our list, die-hard seafood lovers will appreciate their raw bar offerings, but we suggest any of their seafood boil combos)
  • Joe’s Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab – 3500 South Las Vegas Blvd., Las Vegas, NV 89109 – (702) 792-9222 (grab your spangles and head to Joe’s Las Vegas for dinner on the town done right – and might we suggest absolutely anything off their dinner market card menu)

After you’ve dined on the finest seafood & sushi in Vegas, find tea, find us at World Market Center | Las Vegas Market  | Showroom C-0991, Bldg. C | 475 S. Grand Central Pkwy, Las Vegas, NV 89106, August 22nd-26th, 2021. Be sure to check out our full Events Calendar here.
