Squid-Hotaru Ika

From late March to early April, Brad and I went to Japan for 2 weeks. The main reason was to greet all my relatives to Brad since they had’t met him yet.
My dad is from Toyama which is a big seaport city in the northeastern part of Japan. They were so happy to see Brad and prepared a traditional meal for all of us. This is one of the dishes. They were mini squids grilling on dried kelp. It looks a bit grotesgue but it’s also a delicacy.
Other dishes were Sashimi (raw fish) which came straight from the market in the same day. It was so fresh you can almost see through it. Nothing of this quality will be found at the super market.
