#3Fascinating. I love sushi but never knew that so much of it was actually of Norway's influence. Unlike the famed influence of sushi chefs in west Canada and California in the mid-20th century, which carried over into the names of popular sushi rolls (the "California" roll), it would seem this Norway invention was even more important, but where are my Norway rolls?

#4As always when sushi is mentioned on HN, here is a link to the fine documentary Jiro Dreams of Sushi: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1772925/
And Tampopo should be in the same vain, supposedly very good, fiction though: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092048

One more reason to eat salmon sushi, salmon is farmed and will not go extinct.

Keep in mind that California is very good at PR. Or bragging. Depends on how you look at it. Other places are similar, of course. Paris, and France in general, comes to mind, but so does Berlin. London can't decide if it's awesome or rubbish, but it knows it's important. California is convinced it's the center of the universe.

#7Visiting sushi places in Japan, they often have pictures of northern lights and Norwegian mountains telling customers they have fresh salmon shipped from Norway by air: http://www.eikeland.se/snap/salmon.jpg

#9Another way of see this is that both, Japan and Norway have a big aquaculture industry and they compete.
To assure the control of the salmon's market is an essential goal for Norway as nation; they produce 1 million of tons each year for the european market. When somebody tries to farm new salmon (in France or Spain or whatever) they typically flood the market with below cost salmon or trouts until the competence is distroyed by lack of rentability. This is probably the reason for not having salmon farms in the NW pacific that could be much more convenient for the Japanese market in the 80's. Only very big companies with lots of resources and money can dare to enter here.

Which always amuses me because, at least to me, «Jiro Dreams of Sushi» is not remotely about sushi at all.
