The Chicago Sun-Times has revealed Sushi restaurants in Chicago may claim to be serving red snapper, but mostly use cheap substitutes. The newspaper said DNA tests were done on the sushi that was advertised as red snapper or "Japanese red snapper" bought from 14 restaurants around the city, but none of the samples was really red snapper. Most of the fish turned out to be tilapia, a cheap substitute, or red sea bream, which is almost as expensive but still not red snapper. "It's misbranding, and it's fraud," said Spring Randolph of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which oversees labeling of seafood. "From the reports that we have received, there has been an increase in species substitution. It is a problem," said another FDA official.

The practice of eating live food is not as dead as you might think
At some point in its prehistory mankind would have routinely eaten living, or at least not entirely dead, creatures, but except for a little-known branch of Japanese cuisine called Ikizukuri

Matthew Lankford knew exactly how to get my attention, though he swears he didn't realize it at the time. Late last month, after finding my blog on a Google search, he sent me an email whose subject-line read: "Sushi for 21 days straight in Seattle." The body of his message had no text. Instead, he'd sent a link to his Flickr blog with a photo-spread. It chronicled, in smack-me-I'm-dreaming detail, raw-fish eye-candy of the first order, with photo after photo of Technicolor sushi.
More than 20 people picketed outside the West Village restaurant Kawa Sushi yesterday. They accused the restaurant of unjustly firing Tian Wen Ye, a delivery worker, for organizing other workers. According to Wen Ye, the owners of Kawa Sushi, Yi Xiang Cao and Yi Feng Wang, paid four men to threaten him after he attempted to unionize. When he reported the incident to police, he was told to wait outside the restaurant. While Ye waited, he was fired for not delivering food...This is not the first time Ye has had trouble with the owners. In March 2007 he was fired when he brought a complaint about low wages to the Department of Labor. "They've been making a lot of profit for both restaurants," Tsai translated for Ye. "But instead they only paid the workers $1.90 an hour, and we have to work 72 hours a week." Following the suit, the owners were ordered to pay back wages to Ye and other employees and to raise their base pay to $4.85 an hour, the New York State minimum wage for tipped delivery workers...more...
