I never ate fish as a kid, my family didn't eat it. Then in 1983 I had a customer who was Japanese. He and his wife has a few sushi restaurants. He took me out to eat. I liked Tom a lot, but I wasn't happy about this situation. I had no interest in eating fish, let alone raw fish. He ordered in Japanese so I had no idea what was coming.
Boy, was I surprised ! It was absolutely incredibly delicious!!!
It became my favorite food, a treat for special occasions. But I haven't eaten it for 6 years now since I learned how endangered the big tuna have become. That was one of my favorites
