Cuisine: Japanese
Shirouo is a small transparent fish, which we usually eat raw. It may take some time to get use to eating this, as it moves in your month or as we say dances in your mouth. I have tasted this only once, but never tried it again. As I didn’t like the Shirouo moving in my mouth. You can find this in fresh fish markets and restaurants near or along the seaside of Japan. So if you ever come to visit Japan and want to taste some of Japans strange foods, this is one of them on the list. I will be adding more strange foods soon.

Dancing Icefish is an attractive title for me.Honestly speaking that I had not knowledge about it.This is so interesting to know about Shirouo and it moves in mouth is really strange for me.This is truly a strange food.
I am really amazed with this Shirouo which is actually a transparent fish.I am quite curious that how it will feel that this fish moves in mouth.This is truly a strange food.
Hey this Shirouo seems really a transparent fish and I have not seen it before.I am surprised that it moves in mouth and called dancing fish.
Through chance I picked up a pack of these babies frozen at a local Asian market. I guess I won’t get to see them dance, but here’s to hoping they make delicious sushi!
