Hotaru Ika(ホタルイカ)/Firefly Squid - Spring Fish in Japan
Look at these pictures! Hotaru Ika(ホタルイカ)/Firefly Squid fishing at Toyama Bay(富山湾) is a charming and magical sight in spring.
I'd like to see this stunning view someday in my life. But, I will never see. This is because I dislike cold weather. Toyama Bay is located in Northern part of Japan. Long-awaited spring comes Tokyo. I don't bother to go.

Hotaru Ika/Firefly Squid grows up to 6cm(2.4inches) at best.
Its season is from March to May in spring. Hotaru Ika/Firefly Squid is a snack for Sake/Japanese Alcohol. One Hotaru Ika/Firefly Squid costs 5 - 15 yen. But, it's so small that packs are usually on the market. A small thing isn't always easy to cook. First of all, Hotaru Ika/Firefly carries parasites which make your stomach and bowel trouble. It should be soaked in boiled water for 30 seconds. Don't be soaked for any longer which makes a squid tough. I say a wrong thing. The first step is very easy. Even kids can do. The second step is really pain in the neck. Unlike Suketō Dara(助宗だら)/Alaska Pollock or Kinme Dai(金目鯛)/Splendid Alfonsino, its eyes are hard and bad taste. Some people swallow eyes. In my opinion, it's better to cut out. Picture Menu(Cooked by Me)
