I guess I would be fearful that the gradiation is a simple marketing ploy to add a few bucks per lb. to the freshest fish they have for each type. There are actually very few properly trained Itamae (sushi-chefs) in this country, so I doubt that most seafood stores would have anyone competant to make the necessary distinction. I'm not saying Coastal Seafoods doesn't have a fully trained Itamae in place. How could I? I've never been to Minnesota other than an airport layover.

I guess I'm just suggesting people be cautious of spending more for "sushi-grade" halibut or swordfish. Your test of buying cheap if all you're doing is grilling is good, provided the store doesn't really mean "sushi grade is fresh and lower grade is old."

Well, there are actually some objective requirements for a "sushi-grade" label that do not directly relate to freshness, and that you do not need an Itamae for.

an etiquette question


Dear Abby:
I am a 15-year-old girl who baby-sits for extra money. I baby-sat for a new family last week. After I put the kids to bed, I found a snake in the house. I was scared for the kids, so I grabbed a kitchen knife and chopped off the snake's head.

When the parents returned, I found out it was their pet snake that had escaped from its cage, and they were really angry. I feel terrible about it. Although I apologized, they won't talk to me when they see me in the neighborhood.

Should I write them a letter of apology or buy them a new snake? I don't know what the proper etiquette is when you kill someone's pet.

Rattled in Texas


Thanks, Belle Waring

Mr. Bunny has a friend who is very popular with the ladies who is rumored to be able to suck his own cock. When I heard this, I was repulsed, but really wanted to see him do it in that "must rubber neck at the car accident" kind of way.

Excuse me, but "proactive" and "paradigm"? Aren't these just buzzwords that dumb people use to sound important? Not that I'm accusing you of anything like that.

Has he left the house in the past 10 years?

I always offer to share. That sometimes helps.

Yes, but he often disappears for stretches of time without explanation when we go out.

Perehaps if you offered to either warm him up or finish the job?

Did you translate this yourself? I'm curious because my relatives always say it a little differently. "Don't assume the fool doesn't know the answer to your next problem!"

Of course they speak from the vernacular.

There could be other reasons for that, y'know.

Well, I hope so! I wouldn't attempt what he does w/out getting properly warmed up either.
