Nova Scotia is fish

There has been an explosion in the diversity of restaurants in this city. Lebanese,Turkish, Thai, Persian, and Japanese. When I left N.S. in '95 there were no sushi restaurant in Halifax. You don't make much sushi out of haddock, cod, and lobster, the main seafoods out here. Us Maritimers kind of have an aversion to eating raw fish. You're supposed to cook it damn it!
So, now in Halifax 2009 there are at least 11! In a city of 370,000! Within a five minute walk of my apartment:













Shit, apparently we love out raw fish after all.

  2. no, you missed the point. i'm not complaining at all. the point was that 15 yrs they would have been unheard of in this city.
