Just couldn't resist the beautiful colours and delicious tastes of sushi, due to the wonderful company I was among on this particular day, all the sushi bar one was veggie and even the one that wasn't - had cooked tuna instead of raw, but it wasn't cooked tuna as we know it, this was Yellow Fin Tuna from the company 'Fish4Ever'. Amaaaazing! Fish4Ever is a sustainable fish company, they are all about sustainability for land, sea and people. They support good fishing and local boats. Their yellowfin tuna is fished one by one using pole and line rods with no by-catch by two local boats off the coast of Senegal and far from the breeding grounds where many juvenile fish are caught, they avoid damaging methods and support local boats fishing legally in their own waters. It is what our attitude to fish should be about, instead of the awful mass produced, over fished and over processed stuff that we're used to. It's boats and methods like this -> (http://www.fish-4-ever.com/content/view/103/88/). A catch up with the world's largest fishing vessel,a "tuna destroyer" which can take up to 3000 tons of tuna in a single trip, nearly double the catch of some Pacific island countries for a whole year. Very scary! So here I am - millions of miles away trying to do my little piece for the fishies!
Sushi is a typical Japanese food with over a thousand years of history and tradition. It has become perhaps the most visible example of Japanese cuisine in other countries, this is my interpretation and it was wonderful!! The pictures at the bottom are of the most tasty soba noodle salad I've ever made or eaten. Twas a good day.
