As far as I know, you have to be Samoan to love it. That's the way the
cookie crumbles.

OTOH, we eat a crapload of tuna. We got that stuff coming out of our gills.
My guess is that we eat more tuna than the rest of the US. Yesterday our
lunch was spicy ahi poke and spicy ahi katsu. I suppose you could say that
ahi katsu is similar to your country's fish and chips. That is, if your fish
was tuna and it was chopped up and slathered with spicy sauce and furikake
and instead of chips you had a couple of scoops of rice. Hee hee

If that is the equivalent of our fish and chips, it must be jolly good)
