The "Fish island" description is not an exaggeration. In Mark Kurlansky's book Cod: A Biography of the Fish that Changed the World, the fisheries around North America were described in this way, with cod so abundant that one need only lower a basked into the waters to pull it up filled with fish. The water itself could hardly be seen for all the fish that were swimming in it.

We think of the deep sea as a kind of desert concealing its life beneath a veil of water, but that is an image of recent centuries. The untouched ocean was teeming with life. Historical descriptions of New England say that lobsters used to wash up into giant piles on shore after a storm. The past century or so have established in our minds a normal image of an ocean of scarcity, where nets have to be cast deeply to haul up fish, and ships have to roam across leagues to encounter whales. But the times before human exploitation had the seas filled with life to an unimaginable extent. Vast herds of whales instead of the scattered pods we see now are the remnant of a devastated population surviving after a holocaust. Migrations of fish that you could practically walk on.

That takikomi gohan looks so good. It's not fried rice, right? If I order it outside of Japan but in a Japanese restaurant, is the name also takikomi gohan, just like how oyakodon is still using the same name?

From the description alone, it looks like those One Pot Rice that can be made easily with rice cookers.

Instead of using just water to cook the rice, add Oyster Sauce, Light Soy Sauce, Dark Soy Sauce, some Shaoxing Wine, a little bit of Chicken Bullion and sugar.

Then, you can also add some cubed chicken or chinese sausages, sliced mushroom, long beans (optional) and fried shallots.

I know some people who fries the rice with the sauce before putting it in the rice cooker to make it more fragrant.

I read through this series a few times and I don't remember ever hearing that Eva had a bunch of older siblings. Does anyone remember when/if it was mentioned? I assume sometime near the beginning if anything.
