Gimme a break... frozen ain't fresh, no matter how much you pretend...
I seriously doubt they're passing off frozen for sushi in Japan... if
so then this whole sushi mystique is BS. On Lung Guyland fresh tuna is
sold in every fish store and in nearly every stupidmarket... so is all
other fish sold fresh caught, never frozen, in fact it's not easy to
find frozen fish on Lung Guyland, unless you're talking Mrs. Pauls.
But here in NY's Capitol district, just 150 miles inland, there's
practically no fresh fish... I don't consider a slice of fish in a
styrofoam tray wraped with plastic fresh, I don't care what they say.
The fresh fish sold on Lung Guyland was either bought directly from the
fishing boats (sometimes still gasping), or from the fish monger where
it's sold whole, or sliced from a whole fish, all caught within hours.
A piece of fish sold in plastic wrap ain't any kind of fresh... on Lung
Guyland we call that bait.
