Better handling to avoid cross contamination. Regular super markets
have some bad smelling fish cases. Downright repugnant.

The first time would be the most difficult. To those who hate sushi
before eating it, such ubiquitous bad smell would be sort of something
which gives traumas. You can easily find fish next poultry at markets
in UK. Is there also such a problem practice in USA?

From what I've seen in most super markets, all meats are kept in seperate
sections. Typically fish is kept in it's own place seperately from poulty
and other meats. So I don't think it's a problem.

Unlike UK, the USA would demonstrate that it is careful about sanitation
in dealing with meats. I'm relieved to hear that.

In some cases yes, but not all super markets follow proper handling.

Not perfect even in Sushi Heaven like Japan.

Don't believe it. The USA is dominated by financial gain, we have
plenty of filth in the food chain. For instance, some have said the
amount of mad-cow desease in the US beef market could not possibly be
estimated because anyone who knows wouldn't tell.

Yeah, the beef industry would sue ya! We hear more about contamination
at processing plants than at individual stores.

Recently read a short piece in Harper's that indicated that some vastly
greater amoung of bad-com disease had entered the food chain as a
result of feeding such cows to chickens (apparently legal), and later
feeding chicken parts back to the cows (also apparently legal).

Anymore it seems that eating our own poop would be less unhealthy than
eating most beef OR chicken, not to mention pigs...

Any recipes? :-)
