Irabu (sea snake)

[gtlm2000]

When you go to pubric market in Naha, you see this thing.
This is Irabu which is sea snake, and people can eat this.
I think Irabu soup is famous food.

Have you tried to eat this? :D

I've seen them swimming in the oceans while diving around Okinawa but never in my soup. I'll pass on the sea snake soup:barf:

[Muku]

I personally prefer them cooked in a soup after being caught, put it into a plastic bag, suffocated, then taken out, gutted, chopped into managable sized pieces, put into a soup and eaten.:thumbup:.

Just watch out for the bones they can be as sharp as needles.:ohmy:

I really dont like the smoked ones like you pictured in the OP.

[Asshat]

I've never eaten them. I have eaten some strange shit before, but I see no need to eat these.

[2kull]

Taste like chicken.:smile4:

[DoctorP]

i see no need to eat anything strange

That is a good reason to stay away from Coco's! :first:

[DoctorP]

there is nothing strange about that delectable sauce poured over tasty succulent cutlets of friend pork and chicken.....

that my friend is nirvana:first::first::first:

friend pork eh? Being one with the pork are you PJ? :scratchchin::-|

How can you be sure that it is fried pork and chicken you are eating there PJ? Ever notice the lack of rats, mice, and cats around the Coco's you frequent?

[gtlm2000]

I can't still eat Irabu and Irabucha which is green color fish :D

They put all kinds of strange shit in their curry over at CoCos. Squid, squid, squid, cat, squid, brown shit (not feces), squid.

[gtlm2000]

I ate CoCo's today :)

Hirakatsu and Tonkatsu is the best! Yum...

I don't think I would want to try the sea snake. It doesn't look good.

Yeah, Tonkatu is more better than Irabu :D

Maybe this summer, I should try and BBQ some of these snakes. Whats a good BBQ sauce for snakes?

..bet still you can't even sip a soup of that big timer. lol!

[Fire4Effect]

that my friend is nirvana:first::first::first:

Yes, and I believe Curry Cobain used to sing for them...

[Fire4Effect]

But, to keep the thread on track. I have eaten rattle snake, but never tried sea snake...

[Muku]

Actually I have had it a number of times since then. It wasnt bad at all.

I forget what ailment the smoked and dried one is for but supposedly it is to be used as a medication for something.

Probably like when they cut up and cooked cats and dumped them in a soup here as medication for asthma.:scratchchin:

[Asshat]

I can't still eat Irabu and Irabucha which is green color fish :D

In English, irabucha is "parrot fish." That fish "should" be unhealthy sinc it does eat parts of the reef. But it is really a good tasting fish. I don't like the sashimi too much from it- too soft- but it is great steamed. (cooking with a little water)

I think Irabucha is good for soup. I have seen it at Naha public market.

[Trail]

Would Irabu be good with eel sauce?

[Asshat]

Would Irabu be good with eel sauce?

Best with baby oil Trail. You have to message it quite a few times before it's ready to eat.

[gtlm2000]

Would Irabu be good with eel sauce?

ah...... I don't think so..... :D

[Bones]

I'm probably the only person on the planet who hates eel. We had a German friend in Texas who made it for me, especially. Even my mother loves eel. And Japanese eel sauce sucks.

Squid, Octopus, Fugo, I can live with.:old:

[P_chan]

You're the second person bones. Eel makes me want to :barf:

[dk]

I won't go near Eel--living, dead, cooked, whatever. Eel does not make me happy.

[tim duncan]

looks good, i will try some of that the next time i am in oki:)

So now we know the "real" reason you banned him:scratchchin::D
