i was really hungry.

last night at ajiten in canton, my spanish mackerel had a face. while i am generally a somewhat adventurous eater, and have bravely eaten things such as rubbery octopus tentacles, mucusy fermented soybeans, aloe vera, slimy pickled cactus, and eels, having a fish staring back at me from my plate was a whole new level of strange. however, i will eat pretty much anything, and it did not take me long to get over it. i was soon picking fish-flesh off of tiny little bones with my chopsticks. i was mildly squicked again upon finding some type of fish organ.. (perhaps a stomach).. but i hid it from sight and continued eating. many needle-like fish bones stabbed the roof of my mouth, but eventually it was over and the check came.

the end.
