Take on raw fish

I love sushi, sashimi and tartar but when you get a fish delivered on your plate that is flopping around like a European basketball player, it's a bit freaky.

The Japanese do just about everything right but serving you a flipping flopping fish is a bit much when you are trying to enjoy a meal. You are chewing down on a piece of yellow fin belly while the yellow fin head stares you down kind of helps you lose your appetite

But four days in Tokyo have brought me a new appreciation for food...even the type that is still alive as you eat it.
