I am off to Japan. It is a trip I have been looking forward to for some time. We have a very interesting schedule. I have many small projects I while I am there. One of them is to find out how important the provenance of fish is in Japan. I will be blogging when there. In Europe few seem to care anymore where fish comes from. Not even whether it is farmed or not. It is a sad development. Just one quick recent example. These red mullets were caught in deep current waters in the Mediterranean. The color suggests they should be named brown mullets not red mullets. Their stomachs were cramped with shrimps. The belly smelled of shrimp. The mullets had a very delicate flavor somewhat reminiscent of shrimp. They were absolutely glorious.
