What I Learned Yesterday

Mirugai (geoduck clam), one of my favorite sashimi varieties, costs $60.99 per pound. My eyes popped and totally did a double take on the label. Wha? You serious?? Luckily this lil fellow weighs under 2 oz., rendering itself affordable for a Plain Jane like me. Talk about phallic, huh? I imagine the bivalve mollusk turning to me, frowning, "Hey... Who you callin' 'lil'?"

And i was more than delighted to chop it up... I am pretty sure this is not how a sushi chef does it.

Brunch is served.
