There are many fish in the sea, as my wife found out and my children are just discovering. One type of fish, to no fault of its own, is called the “grunt fish” (Japanese: イサキ魚), which apparently acquired its name by its habit of grinding its pharyngeal teeth (don’t bother looking up “pharyngeal” as you’ll never use it unless you or someone close to you is unfortunate enough to have them).
On Sunday June 17th at Cocosa Shimotori (map below), our favorite chef Sean Benward will introduce a special guest at his culinary class, Fujimoto Taiki (藤本大城氏), a poissonnier extraordinaire who practices his craft from Kumamoto’s main fish market, Tasaki-ichi (田崎市), and both in conjunction will instruct how to turn this oceanic delicacy into something palatable.
Reservations are being accepted, and children are welcome. Please write below or PM us regarding details. - William
