Ten metro Detroit sushi restaurants that are not BluFin

acebook and Yelp ratings are plummeting for BluFin Sushi in Grosse Pointe Farms after a group of black women say they were mistreated while at the restaurant. The Facebook Live video of the incident’s aftermath set off a social media firestorm calling for a boycott of the restaurant and prompting BluFin to temporarily close its doors on Sunday and delete its Facebook page.

While the fate of BluFin is up in the air, we compiled a list of 10 other sushi restaurants to satisfy your raw fish cravings.
