What's really in your nori? Or...Waiter, there's a pod in my sushi!

Have you ever seen any algae that wasn't full of all kinds of life? Do they really have a way to wash every copepod and what-not off before turning it into those dried sheets?

I've never liked sushi because it smells like low tide to me. Low tide doesn't bother me, I just don't want to eat it. But if you find a pod in your sushi, should the meal be on the house?

If the sushi smells like low tide - then don't eat sushi at that place. Fresh sushi does not smell like low tide, or even smelll like 'fish'. I turn 50 this week and get to celebrate by going to a sushi bar!! Yummm. Love those copepods.

It does to me - I don't mind the stuff in the middle but that seaweed makes me gag

If it helps any, there are far worse things that we eat on a regular basis then just a few crustaceans mixed in with our algae.

Low tide in your area must not smell like low tide in mine (Long Island Sound) - puuiee.
