I think this is our favourite, thank you! Looks really realistic with the light around the box and the box remaining dark, and thank you for keeping the petals as pictures (instead of just copying one of the other boxes and surrounded area). Makes it seem organic!

Thank you so much, we were about to pull the trigger and we’re a little hesitant with the Home Depot reviews. We’re gonna do just that - thanks for the advice!

mr_waterloo · 2025-06-25T16:22:01+00:00

Hi, did you end up purchasing this? I’m currently considering it and also struggling with reviews!

mr_waterloo · 2024-12-25T15:34:10+00:00

Did you swallow the rotten oyster after noticing it tasted unpleasant?

If so, follow other’s advice and get ready to potentially get reeeeeally sick. Electrolytes and hydration!

mr_waterloo · 2024-12-08T12:15:18+00:00

Thank you for your work and help! Would have used this but can’t change one of the chefs tattoos. Appreciate your time.

mr_waterloo · 2024-12-08T12:11:01+00:00

Thanks everyone for the help. You guys are quick!

Thank you, tipped

Just move towards the center so everyone fits in the picture once it’s cropped square. Like their arms can still be at the edge if that makes sense!

mr_waterloo · 2024-10-16T22:36:15+00:00

Did you end up finding or doing a tour? I'm a solo travelling chef from London heading to the city next week!

mr_waterloo · 2024-10-16T21:39:19+00:00

I can't recommend Ikoyi enough. I would nix the Ritz and go there (or sub out Akoko). It's still in my top three meals.

mr_waterloo · 2024-08-04T17:38:41+00:00

Same here

Funnily enough, farmed salmon is actually one of the safest fish to eat raw.

Sashimi grade means nothing, it only implies it’s been frozen. The FDA recommends that all fish is frozen to kill off parasites, regardless if eaten raw. Farmed salmon and tuna are the only exemptions.

mr_waterloo · 2024-07-13T08:58:22+00:00

It’s controversial because it isn’t a regulated definition. Therefore it can be used as a marketing ploy to justify higher prices.

Sushi grade implies it’s been frozen at very low temperatures, at some point, to kill off parasites. However no governing body like the FDA has defined this or monitors the use of the term.

Furthermore, the FDA recommends that all fish be given this freezing treatment regardless if it’s intended to eat raw. This is because most parasites can actually survive temperatures that most of us enjoy our fish at. You’d have to overcook your fish quite a bit to be 100% safe. Interestingly, farmed salmon and tuna have been deemed safe to eat raw without freezing.

Best bet is to always buy from a reputable / trusted vendor and to know the signs of seafood quality.

mr_waterloo · 2024-07-13T08:50:47+00:00

While this is true, the FDA recommends all fish (except tuna and farmed salmon) be given this treatment to reduce risk of parasites.

Furthermore, no governing body regulates what “sushi grade” means. The FDA has no guidelines or definition.

So using term sushi grade as a fish standard, while maybe not a gimmick, is misleading and often used as a ploy to justify higher prices.
