KOCHI SPECIALS
Ayu is called sweetfish in English for its delicate taste, and a sweet aroma, like watermelon. Salt grilling over low heat is the most common method of cooking, and they are often served whole due to their small size. Like its relative, smelt, ayu moves between the rivers and the sea, fattening up over the summer on river algae. Fishing season is limited to summer, autumn and December, in order to protect stocks.
