I 💚 raw fish

Hi there, my precious Ladies!  These are exciting times, huh?  Not only do I love you so, but you should keep up with the entertainment section of the news, aside your regular work duties.  I assure you, it's high fashion!  I had to drive my Dad to the hospital this morning.  Just a regular blood test.  On the way back, we stopped by the fish and produce shop.  He bought some squid, and he also got me a fish.  A regular hardtail scad, not that big.  The guy at the store looked at me with a blank expression and told me that no one has much stock.  Everyone is sold out.  Yeah I tried to buy rice from a woman at the roadside before that, and she was sold out too.  This was early in the morning.  What's interesting is that the holidays are over, and it's off-season.

Anyway, I filleted my fish then marinated the fillet in salt and vinegar.  I was too lazy to make rice balls or sushi rolls, plus scad needs to eaten quickly or the flavor gets too strong.  So I cooked up a pot of plain rice, then sliced the fillet into sashimi portions.  I waited for the rice to cool down, then enjoyed the each slice of fish with a heaping spoonful of rice and a drizzle of soy sauce.  Same thing as sushi, but without the labor.  Want some?  My teeth didn't quite agree with the vinegar, so next time I won't use any.  Or could it be all the chocolate I've been eating lately?
