I've seen my mom do that to a steak using a wok: tender and juicy one minute, size 13 half-sole the next. :bleh:

Yeah I guess the wok might not be suitable for all cuts of meat :sweat: But then again I got no skillz with a wok ^_^

Here's a clip of said fish....the honmaguro...in English, Bluefin.

Hmm, it didn't look all that big for a 600+ pound fish... If I was looking at the correct one... :sweat:

The size of those fish can be quite deceiving.....I think you were too busy staring at the wok.

Here's a few pics from my trip to Tsukiji....no 600 pounders here but these fish are pretty hefty.

That's what I was thinking as well, but when I saw just two guys put hooks into the fish and pull it up the ramp, I thought, "just TWO guys can haul that 600-pound puppy up that ramp? ...No way!"

That's when I concluded I wasn't looking at the right fish.

I see your point....that may very well be the case.

Or those two guys were Olympic power lifters working Tsukiji as part time fishmongers... :beaten:

Haha....seriously....you couldn't find a fresher one scurrying through the Tsukiji Fish Market in Tokyo.

BTW, just came back from eating at Shinsengumi....5 of us ate a grip and it came out to 30 bucks a head. It was fairly quiet given the weather....the drive to and from was wack though.....it's seriously wet out there right now. :sweat:

$30? you guys got off easy. :hehe:

or maybe we're pigs... or it might have been the 15+ beero last time...

LOL. If you haven't seen it...you should watch Shota no Sushi....a Japanese dorama from back in the day with an unusual 17 episode run....it is a pretty cool show focusing on the art of sushi....I think you would like it....

Light drinking because it was Sunday going on Monday..in fact I didn't drink at all..I stuck to the green tea because it was raining and I didn't want to get perved with the crappy weather conditions....the last time we went, 8 of us the bill was over 500 dollars because we ordered a grip of Asahis and a 2 Liter bottle of Otokoyama sake :victory:

yeah it was really fun to watch....the characters weren't bad and it was fun and informative to boot.

that sounds much more like it, if you get out eatin/drinking less than $40 a head, something's wrong.

you speak truth...it was funny that one time we went...we actually got seated in the adjacent Shinsengumi Chanko Nabe restaurant seating area with the private rooms sporting Japanese rice paper doors...one of the girls with us got so sauced she was talking to the one of the waitresses whom she recognized from a previous visit and was all telling her she would hook her up with a man...it was hilarious.
