HP- Right now, fishing boats are pulling Pacific cod from the Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska. According to the North Pacific Fishery Management Council’s guidelines, fishermen are allowed to catch up to 325,000 tons of cod this year.
A lot of that cod will become fish sticks or batter-fried filets.
But many processors in Alaska also remove the sperm sacs of male cod, a seafood product called cod milt. In Japan, a high-end market exists for cod milt, which goes by the unsettlingly literal name shirako, or “white children.”
Virtually unknown in the U.S. outside certain bold Epicurean circles, the male counterpart to caviar is a delicacy in Japan, where it is tempura-fried, dipped in ponzu sauce or served in hot pot soup dishes typically enjoyed in winter months, according to Akiko Yakata, the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute’s representative in Japan.
Well this post is pretty unsettling to write after lunch. I mean im sure no ones surprised by this move. Rich japanese men are assholes when it comes to food. Can’t chill out with wings and fries, gotta be something weird and elitist. Oh everyones eating all the blue fin tuna? Give me whale meat. Thats not hot anymore? give me fish cum. Not only that but im gonna call it “White children.” Do Japs want to maybe produce white children? or is it some mental symbolic way to getting revenge for that whole bombing of hiroshima thing? Either way i dont want any part of this action that probably cost a gazillion yen. I like the 7 dollar cream cheese rolls at Publix better anyways.
