Sodeika
(sode squid)

In a couple of my previous posts, I mentioned the photos were taken at a fish festival that was held at the end of last month. This is one of the events they had at the festival; how to clean and prepare a squid for sashimi. This particular squid (sode ika), was rather large. I think it could have well been almost a meter and a half long before being cut up.

"I know everything there is to know about the squidin' business..."

"Anyway, like I was sayin', squid is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, squid-kabobs, squid creole, squid gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir fried. There's pineapple squid, lemon squid, coconut squid, pepper squid, squid soup, squid stew, squid salad, squid and potatoes, squid burger, squid sandwich. That... That's about it." (She said that, REALLY! lol)

Plenty of People

They also cut up some tuna after this but it was getting close to noon and we didn't want sashimi for lunch so we headed out to grab some grub. A friend of mine here on the island that is a pretty talented photographer used the movie mode on his Canon EOS 5D Mark II to make a short movie of these guys cutting up some yellowfin tuna for sashimi. Here is his short video.

The photos I took in my "Some Bad Puns" post were of these guys. But it was pretty dark in this room and most of my photos were underexposed and didn't turn out well. I really suggest checking out Shoriki's website, especially his blog. Although it's all in Japanese, he has some pretty fantastic photos.
