- inactive, on 10/10/2008, -8/+43It's much more eco-friendly if you regurgitate your sushi into the mouth of an endangered baby bird.
Then shoot a Republican. - LilPuke, on 10/10/2008, -2/+22I think they changed the link: http://www.wtopnews.com/index.php?nid=773&sid=1494 ...
- StigNordas, on 10/10/2008, -1/+13the only place i like to see octopus is wrapped in nori on a wooden slat.
- AmyVernon, on 10/09/2008, -4/+15I loooooove tuna sushi. Salmon and eel (mmmmmmm, eel) are my faves. But I like octopus well enough...
- inactive, on 10/10/2008, -4/+14Because we're so interested in your personal tastes.
- inactive, on 10/10/2008, -2/+10Quizzing sushi chefs on where the fish came from is a great tip - Filed for future use.
- JigoroKano, on 10/10/2008, -1/+9Most fish? Sorry, no. Game fish have the high mercury content because they are at the top of the food chain. Most fish are not game fish. That isn't even possible ecologically.
- AmyVernon, on 10/10/2008, -3/+10but fish sushi tastes SO much better...
- MariusAgricola, on 10/10/2008, -0/+6Not sure why you're being buried. The link at the top doesn't work for me either. Thanks for a working link.
- JigoroKano, on 10/11/2008, -0/+5Large tuna are game fish.
Yellowfins, for instance, eat other fish. The higher up in the food chain, the more ***** you collect like mercury. - JoeMax, on 10/11/2008, -1/+5Farmed raised salmon is a definite "red" list item too. The aquaculture methods used to raise it are not very environmentally friendly, among the problems with the farms is they often create dead zones around them and are believed to be a cause of increased parasitic infestations/diseases in the non-chemically treated natural population.
A better solution is to enjoy some natural Alaskan Salmon (much tastier) or Arctic Char (sustainably raised). - misskari, on 10/11/2008, -0/+4Vinegared Mackeral (Shime Saba) is my favorite kind of sushi. Please try it.
It's cheap, too.. you can get it at asian grocers in the frozen foods. Just thaw it for a day in the fridge, slice and serve.
Octopus hurts my jaw. You have to chew it for, like, an hour. - BillehBob, on 10/11/2008, -1/+5Do some minor research and you will find that many of top level fish species have been over fished severely. Particularly cod stock in the north Atlantic has flat lined in just one generation of fishermen, even to the point that there is doubt they will even be able to bounce back. And cod is not alone. Blue fin tuna, monk fish and many other species are in trouble.
This has nothing to do with being a blowhard, but these are scientific facts if you would bother to look a little deeper than your own ignorance.
Yes, there are still fish species you can eat and you should not stop enjoying sea food. But the naive notion that fish is eternally abundant has been proven wrong over and over by now.
Blame ignorant politicians for not setting proper policies and ignoring facts that, had they been taking into account earlier, might have prevented the decimation that has been going on for too long.
By all means, eat fish, but educate yourselves at least somewhat so you know what you are eating and where it comes from. - msqueak, on 10/11/2008, -0/+3I think you are mixing sushi and sashimi.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sushi
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sashimi - CrushThemTorg, on 10/11/2008, -0/+3Pigs aren't smart, they're just curious. Sure, they're smarter than a cow, but they're not gonna be competing with your dog in an IQ contest.
Octopus have an incredible capacity to learn and solve problems. This is exactly why I love octopus sushi – I like the idea of eating a clever animal. It's like triumphing over nature in my own little way. - JigoroKano, on 10/11/2008, -0/+3Pigs are smart too.
- veled, on 10/11/2008, -0/+3Darn. I LIKE Octopus sashimi.
Wonder if Squid is still okay... - publiclurker, on 10/11/2008, -0/+3People like you always claim that American culture is the bast and everyone should emulate it. Now that you can actually get a good look at yourself, you don't really like what you see do you?
- Wakkyweed, on 10/11/2008, -1/+4Thank God that sea urchin isn't on the list!
NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM! - edebolt, on 10/11/2008, -0/+3so true!!!!! regards from Thailand... Most Asian cultures think more in the moment. Enjoy life now!!!!!
- inactive, on 10/11/2008, -0/+3mackerel has such a nice, slightly fishy taste to it
- UrinalPooper, on 10/11/2008, -1/+4Mackerel is the only kind of sushi i DON'T like...
Uni on the other hand, that stuff is %(*&ing divine. - kent1146, on 10/11/2008, -2/+5This article reeks of Western thinking.
As an Asian man, I can tell you that other Asians are thinking that they'd better order MORE octopus and tuna, so that they can eat it all before they become extinct. - Wakkyweed, on 10/11/2008, -1/+4It's possible to fish sustainably if goverenments get off their collective asses and properly regulate their fisheries. That way you can have your fish and eat it too!
If I see one more fisherman on the news saying, "My grandfather fished for cod, and my father fished for cod, but now the government is trying to take my business away" I'm going to track him down and smack him upside the head with a mackerel. How the hell do these people expect to continue fishing after they've almost completely depleted fish stocks? - Wakkyweed, on 10/11/2008, -0/+3You're right, octopus does make for pretty lousy sushi. However, combine it with some cucumber, seaweed, rice vinegar and sesame seeds and it makes a hell of a salad!
- protodon, on 10/11/2008, -1/+3Too bad I don't like Mackerel. I just don't like that shiny skin!
- mrgodai, on 10/11/2008, -1/+3horse and deer sushi on the way to the US
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/25/business/worldbu ... - ViperX116, on 10/11/2008, -0/+2They'll have to pry the fried octopus from my deliciously greasy hands.
- cosmicsmudge, on 10/11/2008, -0/+2hmm, looks like they changed the link. bury.
- michaelpinto, on 10/10/2008, -0/+2I'm not a fish expert - but my understanding is that tuna which is quite popular does have quite a bit of mercury. Of course it depends on how much of this stuff you're eating - I'm not sure if in a recession we'll see many folks eating fish sushi once a day...
- WhiteMike87, on 10/11/2008, -2/+4No more spicy tuna rolls? There is no God...
- oda1, on 10/11/2008, -2/+4Your Asian? great, please help me decipher this message, sometimes I take a walking shortcut on my Asian neighbors grass, he yells
"Dat Now Fow Wahkeen! Stoopid Gey!" - pagno, on 10/11/2008, -0/+2Tempura calamari, mmmm
- AmyVernon, on 10/10/2008, -1/+3Wow. I guess I really do have to write "/jk" after a joke.
- cosmicsmudge, on 10/11/2008, -0/+2Yeah, I would rethink your position on farm-raised salmon. Some good resources are available here: http://www.foodandwaterwatch.org/fish/fish-farming
The best solution is to support legislation conservation efforts that protect and restore the natural salmon's habitat -- the coastal waters of the pacific northwest and the basins and rivers that they return to each year to spawn. - lordmetroid, on 10/11/2008, -1/+3Mmm, saba, my favorite... Though I need the mushi ebi, tako and tsuna as well. Can't be without any of em. I want to eat them all!
- troub, on 10/11/2008, -0/+2No, my Asian.
- HardChargerxxx, on 10/11/2008, -0/+2Dugg for WTOP making the front page.
- maz2331, on 10/11/2008, -0/+2Spicy Tuna is the only sushi worthy of the time to seek it out.
- Coffeedemon, on 10/11/2008, -1/+3Have a ***** clue to go with your overpriced sushi because you don't know *****. I remember a time when cod could be caught off any wharf in my hometown in Newfoundland. Look up the cod moratorium and you'll see where that all went. We're well on our way with a lot more species than that and a lot of them contribute to food for the entire planet.
- tian2992, on 10/11/2008, -1/+3@Wakkyweed
but i thought Government was EVIL and free market solves everything, they should liberalize the fishing the natural balance would take care of it
/Sarcasm & troll mode off - Typhoon2009, on 10/11/2008, -2/+4EEL IS SURPRISINGLY GOOD, I THINK AS SASHIMI, THE KIND WHERE THE MEAT SITS ON A BED OF RICE
- razorsedge555, on 10/11/2008, -0/+2No sushi to be found on that page, buried.
- Meocross, on 10/11/2008, -0/+2I lost my appetite when i saw the slime eels, JESUS CHRIST do they ever release the slime.
- Wakkyweed, on 10/11/2008, -1/+3Yeah! I'll eat what I damn well like too!
Unfortunately for you, I prefer cannibalism. Nothing tastes better than a right-wing wacko who's been skinned while still alive and then slowly barbecued till the meat falls off the bone. Yummers! - stonewall123, on 10/11/2008, -1/+3Wakkyweed, I think you hit the nail on the head. We do need to regulate the fisheries more. One good way to do so seems to through creation of marine protected zones that create safe havens for breeding stock. Interestingly, while many fisherman have been historically opposed to the creation of these protected zones it is along the borders of these protected areas that they flock to and where the largest most abundant fish can be caught.
http://www.gatsby.ucl.ac.uk/~pel/environment/mpa_l ... - inactive, on 10/11/2008, -1/+3So basically you are saying that your culture is selfish and not forward thinking? You are everything the left falsely says that America is, congratulations!
- inactive, on 10/11/2008, -2/+3I see myself calling out some ***** who doesn't care if a species protected by any western nation is going to go extinct if the consumption of the said species doesn't go down to a reasonable level. What's wrong with what I said?
And I didn't say that American culture is the best and that everyone should emulate it. I do believe that America, every country in Europe (minus Russia), Japan, Australia, and Canada the types of countries that are forces for good in the world even though every country mentioned does something that isn't really desirable. To be honest I have problems with the countries like Saudi Arabia, North Korea, Iran, Sudan, China, Russia. The American position (one shared by much of the rest of the leaders of the western world) is that some of these countries can be pacified and moderated by integrating them with the global economy. In Saudi Arabia's case the west felt that it needed their oil too much. In the case of others who haven't got enough redeeming qualities to outweigh their negatives (Cuba, North Korea, Iran) we rightfully isolate them. Is this a smart strategy? Probably not as wise it must've seemed at the time, given that Russia and China are now dealing with our enemies and there is nothing that we can do about it. But whatever. - DulcetTone, on 10/11/2008, -0/+1You must love nosebleeds.
- inactive, on 10/12/2008, -0/+1Selfishness is a virtue.
Those Asians are to be revered. -
