I wonder what the koi would have to say about sashimi? It was wonderful seeing the koi at Yves Saint Laurent's Majorelle Garden in Morocco with all its koi.

I've never eaten, sushi, but I'm sure it's delightful.
I can imaging that momentary pause when eye contact is made as the diner is about to take a mouthful of the sushi. Unnerving. Smashing verse.
Now that might put me off my sushi, Alexander! Nice one. :)
