Half of All Fish Consumed Is Farmed

Did you know? Half of All Fish Consumed Is Farmed

The I Love Sushi restaurant in Seattle believes in the importance of sustainable cuisine, emphasizing replenishable sources when possible. Fish farms are the primary source of replenishable seafood for both sushi and other purposes, and account for about half of all fish consumed worldwide (according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations). Wild fish are thus preserved in their natural habitats and not threatened by overfishing, ensuring sustenance for communities that rely on fish for food, as well as work for the fish farmers. Naturally, our Seattle sushi restaurant serves the freshest fish available, whether farmed or wild, to bring you authentic and delicate flavors with every plate.

High Quality Sushi Need Not Cost A Fortune

Even if our value stands out among gourmet sushi restaurants in Seattle, sushi can still be an extraordinarily expensive dish. In fact, bluefin tuna is one of the costliest of all edible fish. In 2011, a 754-pound specimen was sold at the Tsukiji Fish Market in Tokyo for a total of $396,000! Before this, another bluefin weighing 444 pounds was purchased for an impressive $173,600! While we have yet to receive a 754-pound order at I Love Sushi, we do believe that no Seattle Japanese restaurant offers more exquisite sushi for more reasonable prices.
