It's because eating crabs is stupid. Butchering crabs is a ton of work for tiny amounts of meat and basically human beings shouldn't eat crabs unless stranded on a desert island.

I once had a giant cup of fresh as gently caress crab cocktail at the Seattle fish market. This thing was like a red solo cup full of bomb rear end crab. A squirt of lemon and a bit of fresh cocktail sauce.
God drat it was good.

from a yelp review from a couple years ago:

He has a well-deserved reputation for being a bit cantankerous. I asked a couple of "wrong" questions the first couple of times I came in. Lots of stuff on the menu just isn't available, and if you ask for it, you are asking for trouble. Standing at the counter and waiting for him to take your order is a Grade 1 insult. Just sit down. If you're alone, don't sit at one of the 3 tables that can handle more than 1 person. Wait quietly and he will ask you what you want when he's ready to do so. Know what you want before he asks, and make sure you have a backup in case what you ask for isn't really available. Because half of the menu items aren't really available at all.

This is a man who sells food for almost cost, and refuses any attempt to leave him a tip. In fact if you push him on it, he will remember you and decline to take your order next time.

If this is the place in Nashville, TN, I've been there. Super cheap, big rolls.

A friend of mine used to go in there all the time. Sometimes you would order something, and he would just make you something different because he didn't feel like making what you ordered.

One time when my friend we eating there, the owner saw some other people people coming up to the door and told him to lock it because he didn't want to serve anyone else.

Ditto on the tip business


I heard he shut the doors to the place - story was he lost some family to the tsunami and closed up shop shortly after :smith:

THE TAXES! THE FINGER THING MEANS THE TAXES!

I grew up eating sushi, the main problem with sushi places on the US mainland is that the rice usually sucks. My girlfriend who grew up in Michigan has no idea what I'm talking about when I say this.

Why does sushi have all these goddamn rules? Nobody at the mexican place is going to hassle you if you break apart your enchilada, pour all the salsa in, then cut it up with a knife to baby sized portions, and then wrap a tortilla around that. All of the items are there for you, use none or all of them, who gives a poo poo?

I've heard that if you put the knife a certain way on a Japanese plate, you are insulting them by telling them to kill themselves. Also, if you leave chopsticks sticking out of rice, you are reminding them of their impending death. This is why that whole population is going to disappear in 30 years, they are all too butt hurt about food.

the japanese have a poo poo ton of rules for everything because they feel a deep sense of shame that they have been basically been playing catchup with at first china and then the west forever, and every time they have decided they finally reached the point they could supplant either and overstepped their bounds they have been decisively smacked down

but if they just keep sticking to the rules eventually they can reach that pinnacle again for another brutal kick in the nuts

I remember a korean place nearby that got in on the whole serving sushi trend in addition to their regular "chinese" food menu(it was actually like other chinese restaurants but also with the korean staples like bulgogi and kimchi) and I noticed a sign they put up. It said that if they catch you getting sushi and just eating the fish off it, they'd charge you double the buffet price. And I didn't know which was sadder: the fact that such a thing happened, or that it happened so often that they went out their way to get a sign about it.

Then the place closed, opened again briefly, then closed for good. They had good food, but the prices were on the high end, lovely people didn't eat the rice, and a lot of other places did the same foods just as good.


The other sushi place was great, the old guy made some delicious handmade sushi at great prices, but he closed soon after his wife a kid, I heard he moved back to home overseas or something. I miss the BBQ eel roll for 8 bucks.


Well, those are two sushi stories. I have more, but :effort:
