Elegy for Last Raw Fish Salad | A Beat Poem for Chinatown’s Lost Dish American Chinese Food Show 2025-09-25 | Elegy for Last Raw Fish Salad is part culinary elegy, part beat poem, and part ode to the intertwined histories of food and migration.San Francisco’s North Beach, bordering Chinatown, was the center of the Beat Generation in the 1950s. Poets like Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac performed in cafes and bars just blocks away, often blending poetry with jazz and the rhythms of everyday life. They also ate in Chinatown’s late-night joints. I was trying to hold onto something that was disappearing.Raw fish salad has been served in San Francisco’s Chinatown since at least 1900—a tradition brought by early Cantonese immigrants and kept alive in cheap cafes like Sam Wo. It closed in January 2025. So I wrote this poem. I wanted to try telling this story as a beat poem—because Sam Wo was loud, late, layered, messy. The beat structure let me weave history, personal memory, and fragments of archival sound into something that still felt alive, even though the place isn’t.▶️ Subscribe: bit.ly/Subscribe-to-AmericanChineseFoodShow#SamWo #Chinatown #AmericanChineseFood
