My publisher called me this morning and told me about this. I just couldn't believe it but then he sent me the article url. Disgusting is all I can say.

Kudos to thee crew that filmed "The Cove," both for the movie and for this incident.

Hope the offending restaurant gets a heavy fine for this!

 

[Jim Lapenta]

Fine? Hope they get shut down and all their pretentious yuppie puke customers get the squirts for a week!

"Eating Sei whale meat is common in Japan, Korea and Norway and among native peoples in Alaska and Canada"

The chef stored the meat in the trunk of his car.
I've heard of other things being sold out of trunks, but whale meat. That's something special even for LA.

This time, agents from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration sat at the bar and watched Yamamoto at work, court records said. During the third visit, another agent watched the chef go to his car and retrieve a package wrapped in clear plastic.

Maybe not the ideal place to keep your contraband sushi! :confused6:
