The Seto Inland Sea is home to a small fish known locally as “nebuto.” This fish’s most striking feature is the large, stone-like bone within its head, although many dishes using this fish remove it first. One recommended dish using this fish is nebuto karaage, which are nebuto that have been deep-fried. Since you can easily snack on nebuto this way, they are often eaten on their own or as a snack to go with alcohol. Nebuto karaage are a standard item on the menus of izakaya pubs around Fukuyama, and they are popular among people of all ages. Once you try one, you won’t want to stop!
