This fucking fish

Felt extremely stupid not knowing how to pronounce this fish.

Asked waitress. She didn't know

Neighboring elderly couple next to me didn't know.

Sushi chef across counter didn't know.

Took three staff members to identify it as "isaki"

Was an incredibly validating moment

Got a taste for hot, fresh takes?
