Re: Arrived last week in Vancouver - useful facts (I hope)

After catching the fish.On the boat, it was bled, then gutted and beheaded, then we ate thin slices of the belly. It was pretty good actually.

Re: Arrived last week in Vancouver - useful facts (I hope)

I'm not an expert either, but I'd much rather be served sushi by a Japanese chef after years of training by osmosis, than some spotty-faced truculent teenager in a dirty Pantera tee-shirt.

Re: Arrived last week in Vancouver - useful facts (I hope)

Re: Arrived last week in Vancouver - useful facts (I hope)

Generally, Japanese trained sushi chefs have about ten years of training while Billy Bob on a Canadian equivalent of a YOP working in a low end restaurant isn't going to have the same level of skill,...

Re: Arrived last week in Vancouver - useful facts (I hope)

You have to go to a high-end place to guarantee freshness otherwise you'll mostly find it with little worms in it that then lay eggs if its not fresh enough. Some times you'll be able to smell if...

Re: Arrived last week in Vancouver - useful facts (I hope)

I made a double mistake a week ago. Firstly, I let down my guard and was influenced by other people's recommendations (most people have crap taste) and secondly, I went to an all-you-can-eat place...

Re: Arrived last week in Vancouver - useful facts (I hope)

There are plenty of crappy places here. The problem is once you've had good sushi, even moderate stuff tastes crap.

Re: Arrived last week in Vancouver - useful facts (I hope)

I usually buy a nice wedge of stilton at Christmas as it, along with some pickled onions, really makes left-over turkey sizzle. I only eat cheese occasionally as it's not terribly good for you and we...

Re: Arrived last week in Vancouver - useful facts (I hope)
