sushi

If there was one food I could eat and never get sick of it would be sushi. It is so delicious, not the worst food in the world for you either. I'm a huge fan. So yea, not much more intro is needed than that so here we go...

• Approximately 80% of the world's bluefin tuna catch is used for sushi.
• Sushi dates back to at least the second century A.D., beginning as a method of preserving fish in China.
• There is a Japanese Agriculture Ministry that has a certification for restaurants that look for crimes which include slicing fish too thick, using too little or too much wasabi and over-boiling rice.
• The highest price ever paid for a sushi grade Bluefin Tuna was $173,600 for a 444 pound fish ($391/lb) on January 5th, 2001 at the Tsukiji Fish Market in Tokyo. 
•  Su" means vinegar, and "shi" comes from the Japanese word mishi, which means rice. So sushi literally means vinegared rice.
• Japanese began placing dried fish between 2 patties of vinegared rice as a way to better preserve the fish. In later centuries, they began wrapping the sushi with nori (seaweed) so it could be served without sticking to the fingers.
