We find what looks like an alien species at a fish market so of course we make sashimi out of it

There’s nothing like shopping at a fresh fish market to get your appetite stirring, and you know that when it comes to weird food, our reporters aren’t shy. That’s why, when our Japanese-language reporter Haruka Takagi spotted a strange-looking fish at her local fish market, she had to buy it. It was salmon pink and super long and thin, with a head that made up about a third of its body. With its strange proportions, it looked like something out of a sci-fi film
 

What does one do with such a fish? Why, make sashimi out of it, of course! And as it turned out, Haruka learned from the owner of the fish shop that this fish, called a yagara, or cornetfish in English, is actually a delicacy! It’s often used in dishes at high-class Japanese restaurants.

Apparently, cornetfish can grow up to two meters long (approximately 6.6 feet), so Haruka’s 60 centimeter-long (23.6 inch-long) cornetfish might have been a juvenile. When she put it in her sink at home, she was struck with how truly unusual it looked.
The first thing that drew her eye was the super long part of the face that actually looked like a bill. According to Haruka’s research, this part of the head is actually a popular ingredient in Chinese herbal medicine.
