Red Sea Shipping Crisis:

[ombugge]

I haven’t heard of any problem there.
The fresh salmon goes by plane over the pole while frozen whole salmon is mostly shipped in containers via R’dam.

Other seafood, like mackerel, capelin etc. is usually shipped by reefer vessels, either via Suez Canal.
(The NWP or NSR when that is possible) Maybe now via Panama Canal (??)

Norway has substantial business interests in Japan. Japan is an important market for Norwegian seafood, and Norway exports more than 100 000 tonnes of seafood to Japan annually.

The Japanese prefer wild Alaska salmon.

Are you sure about that?

Salmon sushi isn’t a Japanese invention

It was the Norwegians that came up with the concept of salmon sushi, and spent the better part of a decade marketing and selling it in Japan. In fact, you could say salmon sushi is a Norwegian invention.

My understanding is that Japanese preferences are based upon taste, fat content, and wild fish that are free from farmed fish parasites, diseases, and antibiotics, etc.

From the linked article above:

Not fit to eat

Whether we find a fish fit to eat, depends not just on taste, but on perception of palatability. For the Japanese before the 90’s, salmon was part of the diet, but widely regarded as a garbage fish that you only ate cured or fully pan-fried or grilled that was used to fill out cheap meals.
It was never used in the traditional Edo-mae style of sushi and eaten raw, because of the Pacific salmon’s propensity for infection by parasites. Before modern refrigeration and aquaculture techniques were available, it’d be pretty risky to consume salmon raw.

Understand basis last posts , the topic" Red Sea Shipping Crisis " has become FISHY.

An example of intel low-hanging FRUIT

[dry_fly]

I am very surprised that none of the TV analysts/talking heads have mentioned this yet. It seems almost too easy for the PLAN /Russians, really. $10K (maybe $20K?) drone or a crude ballistic missile gets knocked down by a million dollar SM2 guided in by high tech DDGs…Intel bonanza for a potential enemy.
