Nosh of the Day: Shishamo Karaage

Yep, kara-age (which we know as tasty, Japanese battered chicken pieces) but with fish. They don't look like much, but these are very yummy snacks indeed! The fish are Willow Leaf Fish, little saltwater geezers about 15-20cm long. The outside is battered and crispy, the inside seems almost entirely fish roe. You eat the whole thing. I dipped into a little soy as they're quite dry.

Warning: might not be fat-free ^^

You can get Shishamo Karaage to take-away at Tampopo Deli, Basement, Liang Court, River Valley Road, Singapore
