Sanma No Shioyaki & Edamame Potato Salad

Sanma, in English we call it Pacific Saury. In Chinese, it's 秋刀魚.

This fish shouldn't be cleaned. Guts supposed to be intact.

& grilled as a whole fish, with head too, but it will be bitter.

There's lots of fish oil in the guts,  once washed, the fish will be degraded. 

This is our dinner for today....

Edamame Potato Salad...

My man truly enjoyed this...best served chilled...

Used russet potatoes this time round, really soft!
A refreshing dish to start your meal and gain appetite...

Made these flowers with japanese cucumber to brighten up the dull plate...

I think if my family sees this, they will comment "whoah you are really free!" 

HEHEHEHEHE....

So this is the main character...

My man trying hard to appreciate this fish...

He was literally cursing and swearing while eating it...

complained about fish bone and bitterness...

HAHA..MAN.............

But I've enjoyed my sanma! 

The gut was indeed bitter, 

but some people love to eat the guts! 

WHoah..brave!
