Anyway, why not just go for broke and claim that sushi should only be had in Japan?

This is KT's thread now :p

Sushi's gotta be had fresh, so you have to be by the ocean. All of the raw fish I've had here smells fishy, and I've been to some fairly expensive sushi restaurants. It's not supposed to smell fishy.

Most of the big fish are frozen when caught. then thawed at the restaurant, really doesn't make much diff if you are by the ocean or not.

I think only the Japanese are big on truly fresh serving. A lot of other places demand that fish be frozen to kill parasites.

Well, I am in London. Unfortunately a meet-up is out of the question for me. I injured my right hip and can barely walk and I am in a great deal of pain. :(

Maybe later on when I am back to normal would i be able to meet some ATer's.

lulz, cage raised salmon vs (dwindling supply of ) high quality deep sea fish.

Very little pacific salmon is farmed, and it is duly shunned. Almost all of it is wild caught. Getting a fresh sockeye right off the boat as it pulls up to the dock in the summer and eating it that evening is much better than trucking frozen tuna carcasses across the country.

So don't eat it if it looks like this

I won't be there until the 7th. C'mon man. How long does it take a hip to heal up? I heard it's like bruising an ego, or breaking a fingernail.

You know that that isn't harmful, right?

Whether it is or isn't, I wouldn't eat it.

I occasionally eat ocean fish raw if I get them fresh off the boat. In the store I always cook it. Fresh raw is better than flash frozen IMO. Higher risk sure, but it's still manageable.

Manageable if you're sleeping with Lady Luck, maybe.
