NUCLEAR SUSHI A HUGE HIT IN CALIFORNIA
April 7 2011
Los Angeles, CA – A hundred years ago California was a no-man’s land. Beset by violence, ethnic divisions, and gold lust the golden beaches of the left coast were about as dangerous a place as one could imagine. Now of course such violence does 
still exist in many areas of the state but at no different levels than the rest of the country and the state has become, quite surprisingly, the wealthiest and perhaps most influential state in the union, something those early settlers could never have imagined.
A major part of that wealth and influence is of course the presence of the movie industry which has made the state into a desirable and hip place to be, drawing young people and their young ways. That in turn has made the state into a bastion of innovation and of taste, starting the trends that tend to cascade across the nation and the world. That influence only increased in the 1990’s when the computer industry started to really take off, an industry that undeniably has grabbed the zeitgeist of the modern world, further cementing California as the centre of what’s cool. Now a new trend has hit the sunshine state, one that experts are predicting may spread rapidly across the country, imported nuclear sushi directly from Japan.
“It’s unlike anything I’ve ever taste, really. I’ve had real sushi in Japan and it is so much better than what we get here, but this is something else entirely. I’ve never tasted anything quite like this. It sparks as soon as it hits your tongue and just doesn’t let go, it’s so potent,” said one local restaurant goer. “It’s pricey of course but well worth the cost. This is really the best meal I’ve ever had and I can’t wait to come back. If this is what comes out of this whole earthquake tsunami thing I think it’s clear that it was worth the sacrifice.”
Recent reports show that the radioactive isotope Iodine-131 is at 7.5 million times the legal limit in seawater near the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant.
“It wasn’t easy getting this here, I can tell you, and even we weren’t able to get the 
freshest stuff but we’re starting to make inroads there. Basically as you get further and further away from the plant the taste wanes, you can really taste the difference between fish from the north and stuff around Tokyo,” said a local chef. “It’s also great working with the food. Very tender and it keeps pretty much forever. It’s almost a dream come true and I think it’s not going to be very long until it starts to take over across the country. I’ve already heard of restaurants in New York and D.C. starting to serve these dishes which shows how quickly the word is starting to spread. I just hope supply keeps up with demand.”
Despite a massive exclusion zone, Japanese officials have approved limited fisheries and distributers to operate in the area.
“Really Cali is the place where sushi took off in the United States and so it makes sense that it is the place where this new version gets a foothold. I personally don’t like sushi all that much so I won’t be trying it but it does seem like a great opportunity for the region which needs as much fiscal aid as possible,” said Scrape TV Business analyst Ken Green. “At the rate things are going, with the way they are dumping radioactive water into the ocean, I don’t think it will be long before we start to see the prices come down and we have nuclear sushi all across the country.”
TEPCO, the company which runs the nuclear plants, plans to release nearly 12,000 tonnes of radioactive water into the Pacific.
