There's a place I heard about in the Pacific Northwest (Seattle?) where you pick a live fish and they cut it and bring it to your table raw and it's still moving!

I never heard of that place! Maybe it was in Vancouver? Crazy, man! I don't know if I'd like my fish quite that fresh.

What sold me on the kaiten place I loved was that all the little plates had bar codes on them, and they were automatically scanned each time they made the whole circuit, which allowed them to easily pull stuff that'd been out there too long. I have no idea if they actually were good about this, but being able to sit there eating sushi while daydreaming about what a sushi tracking database might look like made me a very, very happy camper.
