(Miso)  Thats ok, fresh is best there but you can find it powdered in the USA
without too much trouble I think.  Just remember it's very high sodium though
not as high as pure salt.  It;s an odd food that sometimes you need 2-3 cups
worth of (used then to preserve meats) but normally need a bit about the size
of your lowest pinky finger joint added to something that makes a 3 cup
result.

Snicker, many things are!  Not all though.  I have never seen 'popcorn shrimp'

That would be a lot of fish!  Naw, I'd end up wasting some too there even if it
were raw sashimi poke.  Maybe with Charlotte and Don to help, might have
managed?  Normal for us would be 1/2 lb or so split 3 ways.
