...cucumber surrounded by rice and thin slivers of ripe avocado, was a successful (and amusing) concoction. The sweetness of the barbecue sauce worked well countered by a drop of the potent wasabi and a slice of the pickled ginger. Spider roll, containing an entire deep-fried soft-shell crab, was a delicious, gut-busting treat. Eating the mammoth rolls was quite a challenge—but one well worth taking...
...variety of mouth-watering options, including several omelettes, poached eggs and even brioche French toast (once and for all, I want to know: do the French just call it toast?).

Last week, the South Korean navy changed the rules of engagement, allowing it to react more quickly when they face threats from North Korean vessels. But the dispute over who owns the waters around the Golden Sea remains unchanged. Says Dong Yong Seung, chief of North Korean Research...
...sashimi, Choi complains that this year's catch was the worst in a decade?the water wasn't warm enough on the right side of the Red Limit Line. So after paying for crews and equipment, most boat owners will lose money. The entire island depends on blue crab, so everybody is hurting, according to Choi, who is vice president of the local fishermen's association. Until 1968, Seoul allowed them to fish right up to the edge of North Korean territorial waters. The regulations were changed after North Korea kept detaining and in some cases kidnapping fishermen, more than...
