Kasube

I wanted to fry something different for dinner tonight and picked up these small but really odd slices of fish that I thought were just fins of some kind of flatfish...the package says it's "kasube"from Hokkaido so I hurried home and fried it but then while frying it didn't smell like the usual fishy smell it smelled kinda nasty like burning plastic or rubber....and then I had a taste of it and the fish meat was kinda sticky so I gave up and threw it away and decided to fry some hotdogs and eggs instead...

Then I looked it up on the web and found out kasube is some kind of species of the family of manta ray!!!! No way!!!! I just had a taste of manta ray....!!
I love watching manta rays in the aquarium and would love to see one swimming freely in the ocean someday but I didn't know one day I'd have a taste of it....never again!
