Hello Momo,
Yes, super yummy! Tsukimi udon rules, doesn’t it.
When you buy fish here for simmering, they are usually scaled or do not need to be scaled. Often times they are gutted, often not. But that is easy, or you can often have them gutted at the fish market for an additional, nominal fee.
Cooking with the head on is no big deal, probably looks a whole lot scarier than it actually is. Just think of it as a decoration!

Lori,
Yes, that fish was quite tasty! Very meaty, and easy to eat.

Kat,
Actually Paku is the fish cleaner. I did give her a hand though. (I have cleaned my fair share of fish though.)

Cleaning it took about 90 seconds. And cooking is a breeze. Just simmer for 20 minutes.

Maybe we should start a nizakana competition on our blogs?

Wow! this looks great. I’ve never heard of that fish before, I give you credit for cleaning and cooking it. I need to work on my skills for fish.
