The mysterious toro
I know the title sounds like something out of the Hawaiian Chicken Skin Ghost Stories, but I’m not telling a ghost story. I’m making an observation about every sushi resturant in Chicago with Toro on the menu. Trust me, every place that serves sushi is chicago has something called Toro on the menu! Almost as if its a brand. I’ve tried some of these toros and none of them were fatty tuna! Guess what! Most of them were actually albacore tuna being pawned off as the real deal. But sushiattack, what do they serve when they list shiro maguro on the menu? Escolar! Every place has escolar listed as shiro maguro, or “super white maguro.” Interesting huh?
