So this is my last night in Aruba...Brag: Got some really good sushi at this place near the beach, was pretty cheap and unreal good. Also, there was a crazy fish tank with all sorts of exciting things going on.Beat: My dad tells a story that starts with: "So there's this player Erik Ryland"Variance: The story went from sad that he knew who Ryland was to hilarious when he said "His avatar is a picture of his own face, so we all started making fun of his eyebrows. He seemed kind of upset and said nobody has made fun of me about my eyebrows since high school" (I then inform him that Ryland is still in high school). To sum up: Ryland is known around the poker community, but only for his huge eyebrows.

I would lol if that happened. I figure eventually he'll probably make some TV final table, bust out in 8th and brag about it until the end of time.

Doesn't work that way.Sushi isn't better "fresh" or cheaper closer to the source
Are you seriously saying sushi isn't at its best when its fresh? You eat old, raw fish?There is a sushi bar in the Centrepoint building and it is the nicest, freshest, most masterfully prepared stuff I've ever had.

I find it odd that your Dad not only plays online poker, but makes fun of people's eyebrows while doing so.

That can't be what he's saying...nobody would ever say that. I mean, it wouldn't even make any sense.

Yes, so do you.Most of the Sushi eaten here in the States has passed through the Tsujiki Fish Market in Tokyo. Almost ALL sushi has been frozen for 10 days at some point to kill parasites. Modern fishing trawlers flash freeze their catch. So, being closer to the source doesn't make the fish any "fresher" for sushi/sashimi

You really think it's just as good here as it is when it comes out of the ocean in Tokyo?

Only news that I can think of to top this:1. "Hi dad, its me, your daughter from college, guess what, I've been dating Bill Gates son for 9 months and we are thinking about getting married."2. 'Honey, I think we matched all 6 numbers in the lottery, can you please google powerball so we can confirm."3. "Yes, Ms. Alba does indeed want to meet with you to discuss your role in her new film, including several sex scenes."

Dude. A frozen fish is a frozen fish. Much of that catch being sold in Tokyo comes from the Atlantic, goes to Tokyo, and back here, and you never even know it. I have seen hundreds of tuna lined up for bidding in the Market - frozen solid and then hacked into with chain saws to be parted out to the best Seafood restaurants in the world.

I'm not saying most fish isn't frozen at some point. I'm saying that fish is better if it hasn't been frozen (yes, it's possible to eat legit fresh fish). Also the way it's handled definitely affects the freshness...the great tuna you're talking about is flash frozen and kept at the perfect temperature during the trip to the best restaurants in the world. Then they use it as soon as it's thawed. Tuna at a shitty chinese/japanese combo buffet may have been good when it entered the market, but it's gone through a number of trips, probably been partially thawed a few times, possibly repackaged, and has most likely been thawed days prior to consumption. That all comes into play when we're talking about the freshness of a fish. I don't just mean that sushi is only good when the fish jumps out of the water into your hands.
