Updated Tuesday night:
Reached in New York during the first screening of 'The Cove' for Japanese press, filmmaker Louis Psihoyos said 'The Hump' was not the only restaurant in Los Angeles that served whale meat.
"I know of two others that did it in the past two years," he said, referring to serving whale. "It's in places that serve the highest-end sushi. If you speak Japanese and say the right thing they have a special place in the cooler."

When director Louie Psihoyos and his investigative entourage snuck into the tiny seaside town of Taiji, Japan, they began to uncover the most revolting and perilous exploitations in history, in a town that appears to be devoted to the sea animals that swim off their coast.
The Cove is an inspiring documentary that unfurls like a thriller. Equipped with camouflage clothing, hidden cameras and deep sea divers, the crew is determined to slip past aggressive guards to capture images of the rampant dolphin slaughters, all while being chased by what might be Japanese cops, or the mafia.
