How to not eat whale...

Tonight I'm going to eat at this restaurant in Arlington called Taisho with Sandie Camp, the Japanese teacher from Paschal HS (the only Japanese teacher in FWISD). She lived in Japan for several years and I hope to get some good pointers from her. I'm really interested in finding out what NOT to eat there...think I'll be OK trying most new things in Japan, but I don't want to discover too late that what's on my plate could also get me an audition on Fear Factor.
