You are right on both counts, Ari. We had not one complaint about the staff at that place. They bent over backward to try to make everyone's stay as comfortable and enjoyable as they could.

What gracious people. So many places would have just left the Brit to lump it.

@ Bernie - You can't think of it as "raw fish." It's sashimi. And half the fun of eating it is dipping it in the shoyu/wasabi (soy sauce with horseradish paste). Clears out the sinuses!

@ 2sweet - Yes, it certainly was a big fish. It fed many people for several days.

@ Lavender - I don't like all sushi, but if it's made with ahi (yellowfin tuna) I am all over it.

I like sushi on occasion, but I have to be in the mood for it. There's a place about a block from where my partner works here in Toronto that is melt-in-your-mouth perfect; the likes of Sir Ian McKellan and Patrick Stewart have eaten here (or at least ordered it into their hotel rooms) .

I can't swim and I wouldn't do the raw fish thing either but this still sounds like a really wonderful time and I can imagine being there as I read.
That was some big fish!

@ Chris - We love Asian food. It's also plentiful here in Hawaii, too -- and very authentic, since we have so many immigrants from Asian countries.

@ Indrani - I suppose it was adventurous, but this is a story about a trip we made abut 15 years ago. I don't know if I could travel like that today. I think I've become old and soft! I don't require luxury when I travel, but I do want a certain level of comfort these days.

Very adventurous... surviving out of tins, eating raw delicacies... some day I will make it there ... may be.

One of the best things so far about Australia is the amount of gorgeous Asian food - including wonderful sushi and sashimi. It's cheap, good and plentiful and often my lunch.
