I see my content stolen all over the web, but there is unfortunately not much that I can do about it (I’ve tried) so now I just try to outdo the thieves by making more and better content and hoping that the rest of the webizens appreciate my efforts.

With having so much content and articles do you ever run into any problems of plagiarism or copyright infringement? My site has a lot of exclusive content I’ve either authored myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my authorization. Do you know any ways to help reduce content from being stolen? I’d genuinely appreciate it.

I saw someone writing about this on Tumblr and I liked it. Great site!

Comment on Where to buy sushi grade fish by Warren

It’s hard to say specifically, but I’ve gotten fish from them and frozen what I didn’t want and eaten it at a later date. I would email them specifically if you had questions about particular items, but most of the items I get I receive not frozen. I’ll cut off a piece to use, freeze the rest, and thaw it at a later date (I tend to get large orders). Even unfrozen, depending on the type of item it is, it could last a few days, if the item is handled properly. To be honest, that goes against my recommendations on my site (sushifaq.com) but I am personally willing to take risks I won’t publicly advocate for legal reasons. but I’ve been handling food for commercial purposes since I was 8 (my mother had a catering business that I grew up a part of, and I have been a personal chef) so I am naturally very careful about food handling and keep my surfaces and tools very clean. But I would check with them to be safe as some items may last longer than others.

Warren,
How long is the frozen fish from the website you’ve listed good for? I want to order some from there but we would eat it over the course of 2 or 3 dinners and I don’t want it to go bad. Thanks!

Ok thanks for the advice. Will go out and try to find some bigeye then. Maybe our local fish market has some.

Cheers Tim

Good question. Actually, bigeye or albacore (pole & line caught, or troll caught from the US/Canadian Pacific zone) is a good alternative to bluefin tuna, with similar qualities. But personally, I’m not a big tuna consumer in general, so I wouldn’t miss it if I never had any type of tuna, I much prefer hamachi or suzuki to maguro/toro. But for people who like tuna and want to be good while still enjoying that taste/texture, I’d suggest properly caught albacore or bigeye. Believe it or not, many sushi places know where and how their tuna is caught these days, and I will actually ask when my wife orders a spicy tuna roll.

Great initiative. Despite the fact that I would never eat a McFish it shows that big corps are changing their way of business.

Also good to see you pointing out the fact that Sushi should become more sustainable. Question is with which fish would you replace Tuna in Sushi?

Comment on Koshihikari rice – The Ultimate Sushi Rice by Warren

I would prefer that you not use my exact wording as Google penalizes sites for duplicate content. You may take what I have written and re-write it to change it enough so that Google won’t see it as duplicate content, but I’m sorry I can’t let you use it “as is.”. You would have to make significant changes to the verbiage, though. I’m sorry that I cannot say “yes” and allow you to copy and paste my content, but it would benefit us both if you didn’t, so it is in both of our best interest if you re-write the content. I hope you understand. Thanks for the compliment, though.

Hi, I like your description of Koshihikari rice, it is very appropriate to put it on par with Wagyu beef. wonder if I can use it as my product describtion for my site?
