so Su-shi me...

I eat at the sushi train in the local shopping centre quite a lot - we don't quite have the CBD range of culinary delights out here. Sushi is both tasty (when fresh and quality - which this place is, IMHO) and relatively healthy, at least in comparison to the OPorto, Thai bain-marie place, Kebabs and Subway that are the competition.

Now a friend, a former doctor who is a clever guy, has told me not to have too much sushi as the fish that are the primary source, salmon and tuna are also at the top of the local aquatic food chain (with the exception of the ones that are caught by human fishermen - something tells me they didn't quite graduate at the top of the food chain seeing as we are chowing down on them ourselves). This means that they have quite high concentrations of heavy metals, as it accumulates up the food chain, and the 'big fish' get all the crap from the little Nemo's they munch on. So this means you are meant to only have 2 serves of this type of fish per week.

I have no idea how much is in 2 serves, but having sushi 2 or 3 times a week probably puts me near that threshold, I suspect. So what the hell are we allowed to eat these days, other then a frickin salad? Cos I gotta say, the salad thing gets tired rather quickly, especially without any of that evil dressing, etc. Sheesh.
