That's as disgusting sounding as people paying through the nose to eat bait. You can buy several buckets of minnows for half the price as people will pay for sushi.
I do not care much for sushi but sashimi is one of my fav.s. I have eaten goldfish live only once on a bet and dont remember the particular flavor although it was orange in color.
I eat sushi but it's never been a minnow.. too many bones ... not enough flesh! The best sushi I ever had was right after I caught it on the boat in mexico.... YUM! That was a 30lb minnow...
