Yanagibashi Fishmonger
×Iwashi Mentai
Why you must eat itA butterflied sardine holding mentaiko, lightly grilled. The fat of the sardine and the heat of the roe layer together, the flesh plump, the eggs crumbling softly. The market fishmongers sell it ungrilled, to cook at home. Eateries that grill to order serve it warm with rice or drink. A Fukuoka pairing of fish and mentaiko, plain but hard to leave.
Iwashi mentai is a homely dish pairing Fukuoka's fish with mentaiko, seen at markets and izakaya. How it is grilled changes how the fat and heat come through. Sardines spoil quickly, so freshness and fresh grilling govern the taste. Prices are a guide per fish; check whether it is pre-grilled or grilled to order with the shop.
