  abstract: A combination of culinary biography, behind-the-scenes restaurant detail and a unique exploration of globalization's dynamics, this book traces sushi's journey from Japanese street snack to global delicacy. The Sushi Economy takes you through the stalls of Tokyo's massive Tsukiji market, where the auctioneers sell millions of dollars of fish each day, and to the birthplace of modern sushi - in Canada. Issenberg then follows sushi's evolution in America, exploring how it became LA's favorite food. You're taken behind the sushi bar with Chef Nobu Matsuhisa, whose distinctive travels helped define the flavors of global sushi cuisine, and with a unique sushi chef blazing a path in Texas. Issenberg also delves into the complex economics of the fish trade, following the ups and downs of the hunt for bluefin off New England, the tuna cowboys on the southern coast of Australia who invented the art of tuna ranching and uncovering the mysterious underworld of pirates, smugglers and the tuna black market.
