About This Item
Gotham Books, New York, 2008. First trade paperback edition. Condition: Good plus, edge wear and corner bumps, spine creasing, light scuffing at rear cover.
From the sea to your plate, the first international tour of sushi's journey in the global marketplace.
One generation ago, sushi's narrow reach ensured that sports fishermen who caught tuna in most of the world sold the meat for pennies as cat food. Today, the fatty cuts of tuna known as toro are among the planet's most coveted luxury foods, worth hundreds of dollars a pound and capable of losing value more quickly than any other product on earth. So how has one of the world's most popular foods gone from being practically unknown in the U.S. to being served in towns all across America, and in such a short span of time? Sushi aficionados and newcomers alike will be surprised to learn the true history, intricate business, and international allure behind this fascinating food.
