Orik Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 You have to go through the horrifyingly terrible prepared food floor but then you can buy yourself some very nice fish, for now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orik Posted October 20, 2023 Author Share Posted October 20, 2023 She must have been a kindergarten teacher because I could understand everything! I spoke with Sato-san at length this morning. Uoriki is a huge Japanese seafood trading company that supplies fish at all levels (down to supermarket sushi) and has shops in many depachika and shopping halls. Right now the fishmongers are all Japanese but they plan to teach Wegmans employees the job (🤣) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orik Posted February 20 Author Share Posted February 20 I can see their point about Sakana-ya and O-Sakana being possibly confusing to non-Japanese speakers, but the rest of it seems difficult to support - Wegmans have consultants scout for businesses and products and they may end up choosing a different vendor. Is Osakana really claiming that running a Japanese style fish counter is something Uoriki was unfamiliar with and that Wegmans taught them how to do it using their secrets? eta: I see in the article that he's claiming his Japanese customers were especially confused by the name, I hope he didn't include that claim in his complaint.

Sneakeater Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Sort of like how Rebecca Charles invented the New England seafood shack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sneakeater Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 No, it's a Rebecca Charles dig. She actually sued someone who had worked for her for opening up a competing faux New England fish shack, cuz she invented the form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

backyardchef Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 (edited) I miss Lure. It was really good. ETA: I have developed a ton of food allergies as I age and pretty much can't eat anything from the sea anymore.
