Shishamo is one of the simplest, most delicious items on our menu, and yet the idea of eating an entire fish in two bites can make even adventurous eaters hesitate.Shishamo means "willow leaf fish" in Japanese, and in English we call it smelt. It's a small, sustainable fish that has high levels of protein as well as healthful omega-3 fatty acids.
The easiest way to eat shishamo is to first remove the fish from the skewers. Then simply use your chopsticks (or fingers--we don't judge) to pick one up and take a big bite! You'll be surprised by the flaky, lightly crunchy meat and the natural, salty (not fishy!) flavor. Try it with some beer--see how nice that is?
You've still got two and a half shishamo left--enjoy!
