Well done to you! I wouldn't either! To be honest, I think it is such a delicate fish in some ways that to my palate, there are many ways which I think work better for it! It's not so great for grilling (usually my favourite way with fish apart from raw!), but just poached in a nice court bouillon works great and even steamed alongside lots of seasonal vegetable in an aioli!

TBF, that looks like gas station sushi

Stick to your Qatar/Cathay etc etc if you want raw fish.

The priorities must be ensuring all food is overcooked, everything else must be as cold as possible, and even better frozen. Karfa also gets his choice of colour mug in the CCR and a famous member of staff returns to sorting you all out with some expressso martinis.

don't you mean corporate-wage-slave 's mug?

Agreed, That's definitely more like California than Japan on that pic and you certainly don't need an actual sushi chef for that...

With the record high temperatures we're currently experiencing I'm not tempted to try them though.
Hake is beautiful, far better than Cod

The infamous "salmon blob" could only come from a fine chef; no food service company would be so foolish as to create such a product . . . .

I myself would like to see Grenouilles in the CCR.


We need this in the CCR; goes well with LPGS

I suspect an Argentine asador would be more welcome in the CCR than a sushi chef. I've got some time on my hands BA.....

I gotcha!

@HIDDY,

I absolutely agree, based on my limited experience in BA.

Ok I’m just going to say it as I can’t resist…I‘ve often thought about many things in lounges but I can’t say I’ve ever thought about a sushi chef

But this question did bring back lots of fond memories of sushi in the JL NRT Sakura First. On many occasions, I shamelessly went back for second!

This was mine last month.
Even for HK pandemic standards this is very much fast food quality.
HK omakase restaurants can readily blast this away, not to mention Japanese onshore Tabelog 4s.
