Last year we were at the Shimonoseki Aquarium during Golden Week – we were in a tunnel aquarium where there were schools of hundreds of silver fish swimming. There was a man staring rapturously at them and I head him moan, “Oishii!” which means, “Delicious!”

I mean, I’m sure I’ve eaten that type of fish while here in Japan, but it takes a bit of time from seeing it swimming around to imagining it coated in batter and deep-fried on a plate in front of me!
