[Hyakushi]

Well I guess it depends on where you live and where you come from. I come from the dry deserts of New Mexico where there is nothing but cactus and snakes. There is really no fresh fish there as you can imagen being stuck in the middle of the desert. So the fish is thrown into a frezzer for almost two weeks max and when taken out is only good for deep frying to kill all the bacteria that had been building up during the long hours in the fredge.

When i first went to California I ordered fish and ships (Yum! ) I was expecting breaded and fried fish but they served me fresh fish right out of the water and it wasn't even breaded. You can imagen how excited I was to have fresh fish and how confused I was at the same time. It was such a big change from what I was use to but the flavor and texture was so good I fell in love with it. Then I went to japan and had Sushi then I really fell in love with fish, speacially the fatty Tuna Sushi *Drooling all over key boards* and Crab rolls.

So many people don't even know about sushi unless they leave on a trip which with how poor they are it wont happen too soon.
