"If you buy nice red tuna at a high-end Tokyo sushi restaurant, you can be assured it was purchased that morning in Tsukiji and never frozen. If you buy a nice red tuna sashimi in Minnesota, you can be assured that it was frozen and that it was most probably gassed when defrosted."
Very nice pictures, Karen, I've always liked pictures of people in work environemnts. Living in inland cities deprives most of us the opportunity to see much of the fishing industry here in the US. IIRC, no place in Japan is more than 50 miles from the sea, but that imaginary Sushi bar in Minneapolis is nearly 1200 miles from the Atlantic coast. That means fresh fish have to either be flown in, or spend two days in a truck to get there.
