Sustainable Sushi at Tataki in San Francisco

Unagi, Hamachi, and Ebi are on the "avoid" list

You know the saying: there are plenty of fishes in the sea. That's kind of true. With the pace that we're eating them, however, that won't be the case for long. So it's kind of neat for me to hear about a sushi bar (Tataki | Yelp) that focuses on sustainable dining, eating seafood that over time hopefully won't leave our oceans and seas barren.
Side-note: It seems like whenever one of us leaves the Bay Area for a trip, we head out for Japanese food before the departure. I love that tradition!
Crab Croquette
Started with crab croquette ("deep fried mixed crab, sweet potato, vegetables with sweet sauce").

Kampachi Tataki
One of the specials: Kampachi Tataki ("slices of seared almaco jack and avocado with jalapeno ponzu sauce").

Sashimi Regular ($19 for 12 pieces)
An order of sashimi with 12 pieces of fish; salmon (sake) is always my favorite.

Mix-it-up Roll
The Mix-it-up roll ("spicy tuna roll topped with crab meat with avocado citrus sauce").

OMGGG the sashimi looks so amazing! Is it as fresh as sushi in Japan? Cuz I just don't get the same kick out of eating sushi over here anymore...
