Description Been watching a Japanese TV show called "The Japanese that Japanese doesn't know" (direct translate....)

Here is some fun knowledge I picked up...

Note:
Even it's the same fish
1. when it's alive, should count with piki

Does it have a name once consumed too?

I dont think you can call it fish once consumed...

Yes, if you'd like to elaborate, you should start a journal

Interestingly, though, the reading changes from "i" to "hito" once the fish actually becomes prepared as food...

I really like the way you draw and colour fish...
