The majority of non-salmon non-tuna comes essentially from a branch of a cult. On the other hand, in NZ, it is almost impossible to get non-salmon sushi (kind of sucks). Now I understand more why that is the case.
NYT covered it now, but Chicago Tribune reported on it 15 years ago already (and in a much more readable article):

Are the moonies a cult? Maybe, depending on your definition. Probably on a roughly similar level (on the cult scale) with the mormons and the jehova's witnesses. Personally, it would not stop me from eating the sushi.
