Fishsticks

Another festival, another tasty creature barbecued on a stick. This time, a fish, whole!


Delicious! (Did not eat the face.)

This was at the Miyagi Produce Festival, which was a festival in name but basically just a glorified farmers' market. We got some sweet deals on a few vegetables, which are generally pretty expensive in the supermarket, so it was worthwhile. The festival also promised a dairy section, which was temporarily exciting, however the only cheeses on offer were the same processed slices you get at the supermarket, and camembert. For some reason camembert is really popular in Japan while other cheeses are shunned completely. Weird, right?

how'd you deal with tail, fins and bones?

The tail and fins go all delicious and crispy (ie. you eat 'em). The bones are edible too.
