Today, sushi is a culinary favorite of millions around the world, from the heart of Texas to the streets of Moscow. Once a Japanese delicacy, the demand for sushi has exploded across the globe. The nerve center of the sushi trade is Tokyo's Tsukiji market, where the daiIy catch is delivered on ice, in custom-made wooden boxes caIled "coffins." More fish flow through Tsukiji than any other market on Earth. More money, too: more than $4 biIlion a year. This phenomenal growth in the demand for sushi has come at a cost: overfishing has Ied to depleting fish stocks, which in turn has threatened the baIance of ocean ecosystems. Is the current sushi trade sustainable? What can be done to ensure that the prized bluefin tuna exists for future generations to come? Sushi: The Global Catch is a timeIy documentary which poses some important questions that all sushi Iovers should give thought to before pIacing their next order. |
