I feel so bad for the sushi bar owners

Oh darn it, the Icelandic volcano eruption is messing with the profits of sushi dealers!

Japan's sushi dealers feel the heat from Iceland volcano

A major importer, Saihoku Fisheries Corp, which buys 2,000 tonnes of Norwegian salmon a year, said it had lost 30 million yen (324,000 dollars), or roughly a third of its monthly revenue, in a matter of days.

The company usually receives boxes of fresh salmon, rather than the more common snap-frozen shipments, via air cargo four times a week, said Mitsunori Ota, who manages the company's overseas operations.

Too bad.
