뜻
To consume fish.
문화적 배경
Fish is often served whole (with head and tail) in traditional meals to symbolize completion and good luck. The fish market culture is central to Tokyo, where the freshness of the fish eaten is a point of local pride. Historically, 'Shojin Ryori' (Buddhist vegetarian cuisine) avoided fish, but modern Japanese culture has integrated fish into almost every other meal type. Japanese people often cite 'eating fish' as the reason for their long life expectancy and low rates of heart disease.
