59% of "Tuna" Eaten by Americans is Not Tuna

It's Soylent Green!

LOL. This is getting away from the mislabeled fish subject, but your comment reminds me of blog entry I read the other day about a "synthetic diet" where instead of 'real' food, there is a substance that contains the nutrients of a well balance meal. Of course they named this substance "soylent." When I read about this soylent, I thought about the "Protein" of the Firefly series.

Holy thread revival, Batman!

I went to Chinese-run sushi restaurant in a strip mall. Not exactly traditional, but they have half-off specials on sushi and sashimi earlier in the week so I can deal.

I had escolar! It was labeled "white tuna". It didn't look like tuna, but it had a similar taste, in fact it was similar to toro -- the tuna belly, or fatty tuna.

While I would have rather they just called it escolar....it was damn good. And no gastrointestinal side effects I'll be ordering it again.
