皮剥ぎ Kawahagi, 'trigger fish'

This is a fish I found on special at the market. I decided to buy it and prepare it for dinner, despite not knowing a thing about it! I was going to salt and grill it but then decided to turn it into 煮魚, a simmered teriyaki fish dish: mirin, soy sauce, sugar, sake, and dashi (Japanese broth). It turned out tasty, much like flounder.

Life is too short to always eat the same foods. Try something new at the supermarket today. Makes for great surprise at the dinner table. I eat at least 2 kinds of fruits a day now - it keep the glucose levels up and me, happy and cheerful! (and if you include chocolate, it makes 3 fruits a day...hee hee hee)
