No. 2….Ayu fish
Tuesday, August 10th, 2010Now let me first give you some story about ayu fish. Ayu, which is translated “sweetfish” because of its unique flavor said to resemble watermelon, is a summer delicacy. No Japanese can pass summer without savoring it at least two or three times at home or restaurants. The ayu fish lives both in salt and fresh water. The adults fish (about 8 inches long) swims down the river, gather and spawn in the lower part of river in late summer through autumn. The fry remains in brackish water (coastal water) during the winter until spring.
