Hayden Panettiere dined at trendy West Hollywood sushi joint Katsu-ya with her mom yesterday.
I love sushi. Love it. I could eat salmon skin and spicy tuna for breakfast.
But it seems like Hayden should have steered clear if she was going to be faithful to her boycott of all things Japanese. As spokesperson for the Save the Whales Again campaign, that’s a pretty significant goof. Remember this?
“We call on consumers worldwide to not buy any Japanese made products until Japan stops needlessly killing dolphins and whales and we also call on the US Government to levy economic sanctions against Japan until they end this cruel and needless slaughter.”
Sushi counts, m’dear.
I mean, check out the menu. It seems crazily ironic for her to eat at a restaurant that keeps all those Japanese fishermen that she hates in business.
Hint: An annual dolphin hunt doesn’t pay the bills the rest of the year.
(Thanks to hottie reader Kate for the tip — I’ll buy you sushi anytime.)
Her bag looks like it is made of dolphin skin, but that would be silly. Dolphin skin tastes too good to be made into a purse.

Sushi isn’t Japanese. It’s fish. You can’t eat the Japanese. Those people are all gristle.
And what’s the story with this “Hottie” Kate? Never mind. I’ll just use my imagination. Yep there it is! Ssssssssssexy!
“You can’t eat the Japanese. Those people are all gristle.”
Pasta, you slay me every time. (I’m not all gristle, though.)
Yup, it looks quite bad.
Sushi isn’t Japanese when you buy in Los Angeles. At least in her altered reality.
and I give a s*** because????? Oh that’s right, I don’t give a s***. [Clearly. -- The Mgmt.] You’re nothing more than one of those fish that circles around a shark’s mouth waiting for it to kill something so it can eat.
goddamn parasite.
I saw the headline and thought this was going to be about the lesbian thing again.
Not all the fish at a sushi place is from Japan at all…most salmon sushi or sashimi would probably be from either the US or Canada, so she could eat all the salmon rolls she wanted to.
Sushi isn’t good unless it’s less than 24 hours old and has never been frozen - I would be very surprised if the sushi in that restaurant was flown in from Japan. More likely Hayden was buying America.
Sounds expensive.
Yeah, this one doesn’t convince me. Fish is fish. If it’s prepared Japanese style, it doesn’t make it a Japanese product.
I’ve always been curious as to why the dolphin and whales are more important than the fish?
sak
Even if the fish doesn’t come from Japan, don’t forget about the seaweed, wasabi, soy sauce, chopsticks, and sake…
Because they’re cuddlier!
All kinds of fail:
Fish = we send much more to Japan than they send to us. we mainly import fish from canada
Wasabi = typicially, we use “fake” wasabi made from American horseradish and mustard
Soy Sauce = America is HUGE in soy production
Chopsticks = anything wooden does not come from japan - most likely canadian
Sake = a bit off point…no evidence that she drinks japanese sake. the article is about her eating sushi
sushi is a cultural export of japan, not a product export

That being said, I think that boycotting all japanese products because of their permitting illegal or immoral fishing practices is a bit overboard. Why blame Hello Kitty for the actions of others?
