Stephan, I have followed your request and posted this on my fb account. I hope many others will do it too.

What I cannot understand is how it is still possible to serve bluefin at all, given its critically endangered status. The US is a signatory to CITES - one would think that they would ban 'trade' (and that would include serving for food?!) in such an endagered species.

Shame on you guys and specially Robert De Niro, because he is a celebrity and he should know better about this problem.
