Serious Eats reports on the substitution of horse for tuna in sushi in Japan:

In Japan the sushi-grade tuna shortage has gotten so bad, sushi chefs are being forced to think about using alternatives like raw venison, and eek!, raw horse. While horsemeat is frowned upon here, it is thought to be a delicacy in places like Italy and Japan. The tuna shortage is making many Japanese sushi chefs very unhappy.
