Glow in the dark sushi

Hi, precious one! Did you read my comments above...usually around the end of Sept..mid Oct., many of our seafood glows from the ingestion of the plankton, known as phospherescence. I know this is a natural phenomena...and NOT GMO'd.

Hi my dearest! I did read your response above, but I did not realize that was what you were talking about until I read the further explanation. I also think that some fish produce this naturally without eating the plankton, although I can't tell you exactly which ones. I know I read about it and saw them at the aquarium - it was really neat, because you went into a (relatively) dark room and all the fish in the tank were glowing. They needed small lights over the plaques so you could read about the fish as it was too dark otherwise to see what you were supposed to be looking at.

The ones living near nuclear plants, maybe? I have read that the phosphorescence can also be due to a bacteria : I am not sure that they are better to eat than genetically modified fishes.

This is not natural. From the article: "The recipes use glofish, a brand of genetically modified (GM) fluorescent zebrafish sold by Yorktown Technologies, which are available to buy in pet shops." If it's genetically modified, it's not natural. I know there is natural florescence found in the sea, but this is not it.

Yes, there are natural colors and florescence in nature. My point was that this is not one of them. I agree that all GMO food should be labeled as such. We have a right to make the choice as to what we want to buy. If we're careful, though, we can avoid much of it.

Sadly the majority of what we eat is GMO, we just don't know it because it isn't labeled nor does it legally have to be at this point. I can see what pergammano is saying as flamingo's get their pink color from the shrimp they eat which is a natural result.

I've never heard of such a thing happening naturally to the fish. What did the plasma come from?

Like plants release spores (which many of us are allergic to)...the Plankton in the ocean, also, at a certain stage of maturity release a plasma into the waters....the Seafood (shrimps, prawns, crabs, species of Cod, etc.,) that filter the water for food, of course, ingest this phospherescence, and like a Flamingo (pink from shrimp)appear flourescent! Definitely NOT GMO'd...just another quirk of Nature!

The stuff at our local Chinese buffet is good. It's usually rice wrapped in seaweed with maybe a teeny tiny, piece of avacado, ginger, and shrimp (cooked) is pretty good the rice has a lightly sweet flavor of sorts. IDK what is served at a real Japanese restaurant to compare. But I do like what's served at the local buffet thus far.
