Pond herrings are the small and beautiful fish caught in the Pacific site of Japan, India, and the coast of Africa.

There is a silver line in the center of the body, and it shines beautifully when making Sashimi.

It is about 10cm long.
It is a simple whitefish, and you can taste it a bit sweet.
The body is soft, so it is cut carefully by using fingers.

Usually it is eaten by Sashimi or fried, but it is also good to eat by boiling.
