Several years ago, Rose and I had carpaccio di pesce for the first time in Hawaii with ahi (tuna). We instantly fell in love with it and returned home determined to recreate something similar with salmon. It may be even better! With salmon you first need to pull any remaining bones out with needle-nosed pliers. Also, you can get a special hammer to make thin slices thinner, but you don’t need it. This dish is amazingly good — enjoy!

But it is interesting that we humans generally go all out to have our creature comforts within reach. I am reminded of just how much crap these creature comforts can represent as we’re buried in seasonal advertisements for just about anything you might wish to buy. Gigantic television sets bigger than small children? Choose your model.
