...Mart in China, where the late Sam Walton has a new image: the Mao of retailing. And where, as in Arkansas, stocking exactly the right merchandise is still paramount. So the store in Shenzhen, just north of Hong Kong, is crowded with tanks of crabs, fish, frogs and shrimp, which can be taken home wiggling or be expertly gutted and cleaned on the spot. Wal-Mart's push into China - and Brazil and Britain and Germany and deeper into California and New York - offers a hint of why the world's largest retailer seems unfazed by this stinker...
...Betelnut, Lord is as much an attraction as the food. He's an exuberant raconteur who delights in overruling his guest's orders. For starters, Lord firmly suggests either the crab cakes mingled with kangaroo and served with nori or the tortillalike summer roll stuffed with scallops, shrimp and sesame sauce.

A Cobb salad ($11.50) was tremendous in more ways that one, a fresh and vibrant mountain of different colors, tastes and textures. Herb-crusted salmon, however, was disgustingly oversized, eerily suggesting that the fish had been raised...
...researchers agree that fish should not be entirely eliminated from a diet. Some fish, such as salmon and shrimp, may provide healthy fatty acids and minerals while containing little or no mercury. But predators, such as sharks and swordfish, which are more concentrated with mercury, may pose a greater threat...
