I didn’t know the U.S. had such an authentically Japanese large-scale fish distributor. The story of the family and the product they’re putting out is amazing.
@joefineman8233 жыл бұрын
For instance, in L.A. there are dozens of Japanese owned wholesale fish distributors. Its a challenge to buy because all displayed seafood is identified in either Japanese or Spanish. Visiting and buying is a glorious endeavor on a Saturday morning at 6 a.m.

i think these guys are mainly serving the east coast (mostly) restaurants, specifically around NYC / tristate. Pretty sure there's a similar enterprise on the west coast, perhaps by another family owned business.

7:00 In French cuisine, the meat is always lean because the fat comes from the sauce, which is usually made from copious amounts of butter. A fatty meat would ruin the dish for being too greasy, so French cooks always prefer learn meat because their saucier can provide additional flavors and richness from the sauce!
