There are much bigger fishes in the river than this rather small guy, that do not pass over 42 cm (1.2 ft) in length and 3.85 kg (9 pounds) in weight, that trigger the dread in any traveler through South America.

Sushi is an integral part of the Japanese culture. And tuna is the king of the sushi.
