My wife and I sometimes go to a supermarket that is known for its fresh fish. At the end of last month, they were selling a red fish that we didn’t know anything about. The Japanese name was “hachibiki.” When I looked up the English name, I found out that it is called “Japanese rubyfish.” That makes sense. Rubies are red, and so is this fish. My wife wasn’t sure how to cook it, but the sign said that it was good grilled with salt. She made it that way, and it was delicious. We enjoy exploring fish markets. There are so many different kinds of fish. And if we don’t know how to cook them, we can ask the people who sell them! (124 words)
