[...] Just how good is Japanese sushi? And the quality of their raw fish? I’ve limited myself in the past year to only eating at America’s best sushi/sashimi restaurants – Urasawa, Sawa, Kuruma Zushi, and Sushi Yasuda (no Masa this past year.) How does the quality of Sawa and Kuruma’s fish compare to Tokyo’s best? Is this magic of a Sushi Yasuda nigiri commonplace in the back alleys of Tokyo? Can Urasawa’s reverence for food and ingredient place among the best of Japan? When I discuss America’s best places, the common response is always “go to Japan.” The subtext of that comment often is, at worst, the continuing Japanese fetish found in America; and, at best, a truly informed point of view.

That is the oldest trick in the book, beause if you call a fish a snapper you can charge 2 or 3 times more for it, and alot of fish suppliers try this scam on because they think that alot of restaurants and chefs are to stupid to notice the differance

Did you see this article about fake Red Snapper?

“The newspaper had DNA tests done on sushi described as red snapper or “Japanese red snapper” bought from 14 restaurants in the city and suburbs. Not a single one was really red snapper.”

Buy a real camera with a big fast lens and/or buy a tripod and take a longer exposure. The alternative is to show up at every restaurant with full studio lighting… If you want your setup to fit in your pocket, get used to crappy pictures in the dark.

Thanks, I’m really happy w/ how they turned out. I need to figure out how to get the same quality in dark restaurants.
