The Least Useful Guide to Fukuoka

My husband is having a fish soup made by pouring boiling water onto the fishbone.

No, I am not abusing him by feeding him with fish carcass after I finished my meal with the flesh.

According to him, this is a way to enjoy a fish to the last bit.

I myself don’t do this ritual, but my father did this (in his case using hot green tea), and I found my husband do the same thing after eating horse mackerels cooked in soy sauce  and sugar.

Maybe this is a common method among men over certain age.

Note: You’d better do this at home, not in restaurants or formal reception. You would look either an expert in fish-eating, or just an ill-mannered idiot.
