It was going to be strir fry.

But then I happened to find myself at Food Lovers Market at around 17:30 (when the half price special kicks in --- for the remainder on the conveyor belt)) and I bought California Rolls.

R54 for 16 California Rolls.

Not applicable to 90% of the restaurants in this country unfortunately. It might be from Thursday, but that's last month's Thursday and the box has thawed twice already...:D

Found it.
Bourdain:

"You walk into a nice two-star place in Tribeca on a sleepy Monday evening and you see they're running a delicious-sounding special of Yellowfin Tuna, Braised Fennel, Confit Tomatoes and a Safron Sauce. Why not go for it? Here are the two words that should leap out at you when you navigate the menu: 'Monday' and 'Special'.

"Here's how it works: The chef of this fine restaurant orders his fish on Thursday for delivery Friday morning. He's ordering a pretty good amount of it, too, as he's not getting another delivery until Monday Morning. All right, some seafood purveyors make Saturday deliveries, but the market is closed Friday night. It's the same fish from Thursday!

[...]

"Why doesn't he throw the left-over tuna out? The guy can get deliveries on Monday, right? Sure, he can ... but what is preventing his seafood purveyor from thinking exactly the same way? The seafood vendor is emptying out his refrigerator too! But the Fulton Street fish market is open on Monday morning, you say!! He can get fresh! I've been to the Fulton Street market at three o'clock on Monday morning, friends, and believe me, it does not inspire confidence."

He goes on to say that refrigeration is key, and that the fish you're thinking of eating is not only old, but has been in a fridge containing various other substances, and whose door has opened and closed about a thousand times over the weekend as people grab stuff from it.

I over slept this morning, didn't have breakfast and didn't pack lunch... I can feel my stomach starting to digest itself :(
