Salmon for sushi seems not to be the famous story that was going around. Like, it has all the tenets of a nice fake story, talking about Japan and how a foreign more familiar power outsmarted them, but apparently salmon was popular way before Norway theoretically started marketing it:

- dagmx 4y agoThat video isn’t the refutation I think he thinks it is. I’m sure there’s more nuance than “Norway invented salmon sushi” but his argument is a little flakey imho. His premise is based on American documents of sushi, but salmon was already a popular fish in the west by then. So it stands to reason that they’d use local fish for this dish that depends on good quality protein. I’m not saying he’s necessarily wrong but his process of arriving at the result is weird, so I don’t think he’s necessarily right either.
