| The
original dishes of Lake Chuzenji are based on the Sockeye salmon. River
fish is not as popular as ocean fish, but Sockeye salmon is exceptional.
It belongs to the same kinship of salmon, and has a similar taste
and color. It might be grilled with salt or butter. Also, bone becomes
edible and you can eat from the head if it were grilled well. You
also should try raw trout. It is a rarity. The best season to eat
Sockeye salmon is from July to August. Fish catch is becoming less and
more precious. Also, you may try rainbow trout and pond smelt. |
