Love sushi, but currently possessed of neither the time nor the funds needed in order to enjoy the full-on experience at your favorite bar or restaurant? Stop in Nature´s Finest for a quick, cheap fix. There´s a lot to like about this vegan-friendly alternative supermarket/deli/restaurant (located out near where Central Avenue becomes the Treasure Island Causeway), and sushi chef Khin Win´s fresh, prepackaged meals are at the top of the list. Not only do you get a larger selection than at the few Bay area grocery stores that offer cold fish and rice under cellophane, but the price is comparable, and the flavors are unbeatable.
Nature´s Finest, 6651 Central Ave., St. Petersburg, 727-347-5682.
