Terri, you have shut down the entire fishing industry and put many thousands of people out of work! Our entire economy has collapsed. :( :lol:

Japan has been hitting the tuna hard for a long time, but with the sushi boom happening, I know that Korea and Spain are taking a lot of the fish now as well, perhaps others. The new year's traditional tuna auction for the grand fish brought in over a million dollars for the one fish. It's a...

Sadly true about the depleting fish, Darin, something needs to be done. So many livelihoods are connected to the fishing industry, the mention of a moratorium brings the thought of economic suffering. Politicians would be timid to bring it up. People here won't even stop their whaling...

I don't follow, Darin. You're saying that they are putting out other species than what they say it is? Any experienced sushi eater would know, and for the most part by the appearance as well. Jerry, some species of fish are highly unlikely to have parasites, like Tuna, and Tuna is about the...

A day at the fish market: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/bIpmYjwh_pg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

There is some concern about parasites existing in fresh water fish, like tapeworms. Salmon is sometimes mentioned as a possible carrier. Full salt water species, no worry apparently.

Some fresh water species like trout is served raw here, by itself and not on rice (sashimi), but not nearly to the extent that saltwater fish is eaten that way. I think people felt left out in the old days where the ocean was far away and no transport, and trout being about everywhere. It is...

I don't think flounder is regarded as a good one for raw consumption. One reason that fish gets "fishy" is that it isn't fresh.

She might be right, Jed. How many Alaskan bears have you ever seen sitting around looking depressed? I'll bet not many.

I never heard of anyone that doesn't like Salmon, but I guess it is possible. Speaking of, fish farms have been doing some interesting cross breeding here with trout, coming up with a species that they call "Shinshu Salmon", Shinshu being the name of our area. Though the photo looks like...

Unagi (eel), are another on the, "It was nice when they were around", list. The ones we see now are mostly raised in China. They used to occupy the rivers in mass numbers, but too good eating for their own survival. Some specialty places are around, that is all that they serve. They can do...

I'm glad that you enjoy it, Ray. I wonder if the people on the fishing boats that stay out for months get tired of eating it, maybe are dying for a steak and argue if it is better than ribs. Sushi dishes weren't very creative beyond the various types that were originated and pretty much...

Ocean fish farming is a big deal in these parts, but the Tuna has been a very difficult species to figure out, and a lot has gone into developing a method. It's a type of fish that has to continually be moving to survive. I think they have made progress and there might be some operations going...

Jeff, there still are guys out of our northern ports here that hand line for the giants, then they will let the winch take over when they have a hookup. It's rather dangerous in those small boats, both managing the boat and dealing with what may be a couple hundred pound fish on the line...

Gee, I like urchin, but have never thought of it with that descriptive. I don't know if they serve it this way in the states, but some sushi is lightly grilled and raw in the middle. It adds another dimension. Yellowtail is another of my favorites, one of the oilier species. I agree about...

That's cool that you have "special occasions", Burnham, and food that you and M like to go along with it. We have them now and again too, like when I get paid for some woodwork. Our destination is an Indian restaurant these days that is the real deal. A glass of rum and bring it on! We can...

The best raw fish I've ever had was some Big Eye tuna caught near the Johnston Atoll in mid Pacific, around where the US used to test nukes. Some fisherman from down south came to my shop one day, he had an interest in woodwork. I gave him some wood. He said he would send some good fish. I...

If you happen to live in a coastal village or town where boats put out to sea to fish, there can be found some excellent sushi at cheap cost. Sometimes i think it's worth moving to a place like that for it. Places even only a few hours away where the fish has to be in cold transit, the taste...

I'll check it off the list to take you if you make it over here, Reg. I know some excellent places, but there is a lot of other good food, like MB's katsudon! I don't know what you have tried, but like anything else when it comes to food, there are different ranks of quality and taste, and...
