About Firefly squid (Seasonal squid dishes)

Toyama Prefecture is well known for firefly squid, but they are also caught in Oku-Noto, Ishikawa Prefecture, as a spring delicacy. Fresh firefly squid enjoyed in season is exceptional. Popular ways to eat it include sashimi and shabu-shabu. It is also delicious dressed with vinegared miso or made into shiokara, a fermented squid condiment. In Ishikawa, firefly squid are also seasoned with ishiri, a traditional fish sauce from the Noto Peninsula, then dried to make ishiri-dried firefly squid.
