Globefish Shut Down Due to Roaches. UPDATE: Now Open for Sr. Mints!

[Bertuzzied]

hmmm maybe it was their lunch special. Wonder what a large amount would be?

The Kensington location of Globefish Sushi has been ordered to close its doors after cockroaches were found during an inspection.
Alberta Health Services released the notice of closure Thursday, after the inspection revealed a large amount of cockroaches in the glue traps and live cockroaches at the popular sushi restaurant.

Globefish is an expensive place, never thought it will be them being shutdown.

Go around the block to Sushi Club. Cleaner, no cockroaches, and much better sushi anyways.

I lived in an apartment in Chinatown that had bakery and restaurants on the main floor. A couple of cockroaches made it up to our apartment. Not sure if the dumbwaiter was partly responsible for their spread throughout the building.

I liked Globefish and the noodle place next to it. I wonder if some part of Japanese culture prevented employees from speaking up.

Japanese actually run the place? Most sushi places I've been to are staffed by Chinese.

The tip off usually when they give you a spoon with your miso soup... or so I heard.

Are cockroaches in themselves a big deal? Or are they just a sign of a bigger issue? I honestly don't understand what health issues are associated with roaches.

I bet these things add some real nice texture and crunch to the rainbow rolls.

First rats, now cockroaches. Alberta border patrol needs to step it up a notch.

[Esoteric]

Calgary has had cockroaches a whole lot longer than we've had rats.

[Sr. Mints]

This was my go-to place for sushi. Got to find a new go-to place now.

I can remember when I was a kid (which is not recently), that there was a news story of a bunch of townhomes on 33Ave SW that had to be fumigated because they were overrun with roaches. Cockroaches in Calgary aren't a new and unheard of thing.
