Ännu mer off topic:Off topic-svar i tråden, men Japan är en stor importör av just norsk lax. Varje vecka transporteras hundratals ton norsk lax med flyg till Japan. I bästa fall kan laxen serveras, exempelvis som sushi, 36 timmar efter att den har fiskats i Norge. Fantastiskt!
Här förklarar man varför japanerna inte åt lax sushi/sashimi förut. Det är ganska nytt beteende.
Norway's Introduction of Salmon Sushi to Japan - Norway ExportsNorway Exports skrev:The project ended up in having a profound effect on the culinary habits of Japanese who were unaccustomed to eating salmon raw. The preferred fish for sushi and sashimi were tuna and sea bream. Salmon was used for grilling and kirimi, a lightly salted and dried fish dish. The Japanese considered Pacific salmon dangerous to consume raw because these wild fish were exposed to parasites and considered too lean for sushi. Moreover, domestic tuna distributors were very protectionist.
“Everybody said ‘we do not eat raw salmon’,” said Olsen, who was also responsible for market research for Project Japan from 1986-1991. “We had to really fight to introduce salmon into the market…It took 15 years from when the first salmon went to Japan (in 1980) to the breakthrough for raw consumption in 1995.”
