I’m indifferent to lobster meat, whether cooked or served as sashimi. It may or may not have anything to do with taking a date to a Red Lobster during my university days. She was hardly impressed and never did respond to my follow-up calls. Although I can’t be sure if it was the lobster she
You can’t eat raw everyday and not even we’d do that no matter how much fish we got lying around. This is a very simple donburi (rice bowl) I make when I have some fugitive pieces of salmon in the fridge.This recipe is really all about the sauce/oil, which works well with other proteins, especially
It doesn’t matter if you think the fish is boring or flavourless. Tilapia is the third most consumed fish in the world. And with self-isolation causing you to pull out (…to the dismay of your soon-to-be wealthy barber…) all that hair on your head, I think it’s time you joined the party. What I most

It’s Earth Day’s fish because it’s Every Day’s fish.Snobs sneer at it, accuse it of being boring, flavourless—qualities they know something about.

We go through a lot of sushi in our workshops, but this one is not the variety used for making rolls. Of the hundreds of variations of soups, Korean seaweed soup #miyeokguk #??? is my favourite, in part because it’s the simplest one to make, and in part because it’s one of the best and
I dropped a salad plate that shattered into a million pieces the other day. It was given to me years ago by a master sushi chef and mentor, Osada-san. He had made the plate himself. I don’t usually get sentimental about objects, so when the tears came, it surprised me. Yet even in that moment
In Korean, “rice” translates into “Ssal”, but once cooked, it takes on new name: “Bap”. However, the word “Bap” means more than just “cooked rice”. During times of strife, war, dislocation, and quarantine, it symbolized for Koreans the value of life itself. Bap also translates to “meal”, embodying the virtues of social engagement, community, charity.
