Blue Fish, We Hardly Knew Ye

I never tried Blue Fish in Santa Ana, but I knew of its existence. Recently, I noticed it ceased to exist. The storefront it formerly occupied has been stripped bare. Inside, there was nothing left but some semblance of what used to be a sushi bar.

No doubt the competition was tough against Kaisen, which still draws daily crowds just a block down. Or even San Kai across the street. To be quite honest, about the only thought I gave to Blue Fish was that its name sounded a lot like Bluefin -- one of the most popular sushi joints in O.C.  Blue Fish, it seems, was on the wrong end of that spectrum.
