Lonely Planet and fishing quotas


Hong Kong will be always present in our memories as the place where we’ve eaten the best shushi of our lives. We were in Hong Kong Island and it was late. 2pm is not time anymore for lunch for an average ‘Hong Konger’, mind you. The place was gloomy, in one of these narrow streets behind striking grey skyscrapers, smelly, rubbishy. It was nevertheless referenced in Lonely Planet and we treat our literature as serious stuff. The kitchen was about to close, we had to rush ordering. Service was unremarkable, no frills decoration, decaying restrooms. But a second after tasting that fresh, soft and salty tuna all the surroundings faded away and we imagined ourselves swimming freely in the Pacific waters, in a time where Bluefin is not synonym for fishing quotas.
