Woah! This one might be too advanced for me... but it's amazing how cleanly Cooking Papa demonstrates this things. Thanks for the translation!

@friendly it is not that difficult. If you have correct ingredients (rice is really important) you can make it easily. Of course they won't be as pretty and there will be some failures, but it's a funny thing to make.

Long live culinary scans.

I find strange the spanish Mackerel: if it were today with globalization and the fact that some species which were popular are now on the way to extinction so the market is flooded with fish from far away and remote regions i could understand, but this is probably from around 1990 or older., it was hard to get exotic ingredients and sea and ocean fish species were still plentiful back then, in many more cases.

Those wide slices of octopus make me think if ti won't be a giant squid instead. Never seen an octopus tentacle more than half as wide, even though it is very common around here and in the last 20 years we get them from many other areas in the world too.

Spanish mackerel is actually Japanese spanish mackerel Aka. Sawara. It's a local fish.

@kuy9new so the spanish part comes from an association with Spain from the translator's area of a different species of fish?

EDIT: ok, checked it and it seems that it is like that but even lamer, as the ''spanish tag'' on the ''sawara'' is based on another species of mackerel from the north-west Atlantic Ocean, not even Spain related as it goes as far as around Greenland, and the assocation happens only in the US and related areas and nowhere else in the world. Investigated it further and the ones they have in Spain are quite different from this north-west atlantic one.
