The seafood in Japan is amazing. I am fortunate to know more than I need to as my husband, Shinji, is a Japanese fishmonger and passionate about Japanese seafood. The variety, quality, and most importantly, the many different ways to eat seafood in Japan is impressive. Since we have moved to NYC we rarely eat seafood at home (unless it comes out of a can - seriously). First of all, it is too expensive here, especially when compare to how cheap meat is in America. But, even when we do go to nice seafood shops in the city, Shinji is most of the time disappointed with the quality of seafood in America. He is not a snob, just accustomed to a higher standard. I look forward to when we move back to Japan and can indulge in Japanese seafood once more.
The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries has a great video on Japanese seafood. Watch it and weep!
