i am telling you you don’t want shrimp or fish from anywhere over there.
When I was a kid and lived in Japan, I was disgusted, nauseated, horrified and fascinated by the things the Japanese took out of the sea to eat.
But then, I was a bit of a picky eater...:)
That said, I think the Japanese placed a premium on keeping the food in good shape and clean, regardless of how disgusting I thought it was. I get the impression it isn’t that way in China.
During the sixties, the overall impression I had of the odor of Japan was sewage and fish smell. It was the open sewers that accounted for one part of that...
