To the editor: Your article on Sakae Sushi introduced again many fond recollections. Once I was rising up in Gardena within the Nineteen Sixties and ’70s, their scrumptious platters have been a mainstay at potlucks and buffets. When the sushi craze hit the U.S., these of us who grew with Sakae have been somewhat nonplussed — we had been having fun with it for years! I’m joyful to see that the restaurant continues to be thriving and want them many extra years of success.

To the editor: This reader want to thank Betty Hallock for overlaying Yoko Hasebe’s work bringing plant-based sushi to Los Angeles, and Jean Trinh for her article on bluefin tuna. Each of those handled the very actual culpability our world has in overfishing and the resultant low numbers of fish species. The unfavourable impression on nature and society of our ocean ecosystems’ air pollution, exploitation and coastal improvement, in addition to the local weather disaster resulting in increased temperatures affecting our oceans, is turning into obvious and threatens not solely the fishing business but in addition our lives.
As we watch marine ecosystems be depleted and destroyed, we might want to change our behaviors. We should start to look after the well being of our threatened kelp forests, seagrass meadows, mangroves and coral reefs on which wild fish rely and which assist retailer carbon. Fish farms have many environmental issues. The selection of plant-based meals is every day turning into extra obtainable and is a should to handle these considerations.
