sharks fin and turtles?

i'm against eating sharks fin since it's rather cruel...

but at least i wanna know what it tastes like :beaten:

I'm not sure if what I ate was shark fin, but it was shark anyway. I tried it maybe a little more than 15 years ago. It tasted like chicken. Not bad, but not great either. It's rather toxic too.

The last one with the cubed toro....the fish looks so well marbled it looks like raw Kobe beef! :hehe:

I had a doctor's app't the other day I was reading about Skywalker Ranch, George Lucas' home in N. Callifornia....he has 120 head of Japanese wagyu cattle imported from Japan on his ranch.

Toxic? :shocked:

Yes. It has lots of mercury. Probably the amount you should consume in a month. :bleh:

I wish there were some good toro like that around here, instead of terriyaki chicken sushi. :nut:

120 wagyu cattle? Ouch... I think a cheap cow is worth $25 000. Must be hella expensive. Lucas looks like a guy who eats lean meat. :beaten:

Well, when your estimated net worth is 3 BILLION dolllars....you can wipe your ass with 25,000 just to feel good about yourself.

Speaking of teriyaki, I tried McDonalds teriyaki burger in Kyoto. Didn't like it :bleh:

So did I..So did I....

apparently the salmon skin is grilled to get it crispy and bring out the flavor and then drizzled with unagi sauce before being rolled up in the ol' nori.

all I gotta say is that picture looks fab. :)

The sauce luxuriously cascading down the salmon skin.... :drooling:
