No, @japancandyeater, these aren’t baby sting rays, lol ^^. But they are horse mackerel that are dried and seasoned in the traditional Japanese manner.

My gf cracked up at the packaging (”Party Time de gojaru”).

The yaki aji looks too gross for me… I’ll stick to various soft ika.

Here are some Chocoboru commercials:

-Narcolepsy, I tried googling Chocoboru but to no avail. Do tell what chocoboru are and if I can get an invite to the party,

-Super rats, it’s an acquired taste I’m betting. I still haven’t found a decent fish jerky that tastes like fish . All the dried fish I’ve tried thus far, except for some unagi a while back, are the tactile equivalent of old leather.

-Tj Han, fresh fish is always better than dried but I kinda have an affinity for dried food stuffs. I have a bread box filled with dried and preserved fruit and fish. I guess I’m weird like that. Would you happen to be knowing the proper name of that there spinal treat you mentioned?

Looks good. But generally, fresh fish is better. Have you tried Unagi bones? I couldnt rmember the Japanese name, but it’s like the spinal column of large unagi and served deep fried. Now those are super.

Not a fan of dried fish. I think it’s really the texture that bugs me out the most. I don’t mind the taste (the ones I’ve had have been fishy), but chewing on it makes me gag. Haven’t tried it in several years though.

Pffft. Everyone knows if it’s a snack, and it’s a party, it’s gotta be Chocoboru!!
