Hamachi

A.K.A. yellowtail


This was my main course the other night at a fish restaurant way on the south side of Tokushima City. It was good and really reasonable, 980 yen for a full meal. The pieces of fish were actually a bit too big. I would have preferred twice as many smaller pieces, to enjoy the taste longer.

Actually, the price was a little higher because I opted for tai meshi instead of regular white rice. Tai is a local specialty, though it's local in many parts of Japan. Our local, local tai is called Naruto tai after the town with the famous whirlpools just north of here. Tai is a kind of Red sea bream, I'm not sure which one is our local, local one.

My daughter sometimes still likes to order kid's meals, though usually she's too big for them. This time, the meal was too big for her!

Even though this was a fish restaurant, there's no fish here, just hamburger steak, fried chicken, sausage, some sort of weird potato thing that looked like a waffle, spaghetti, . . . . . . . . . .
