Question for Sushi aficionados
I was at the Japanese Friendship garden in San Jose today (ok I live next door). There are dozens of these huge Koi cruising around the ponds.
All I could think was: Koi must taste like crap, these things are too big and juicy to be ignored by Japanese chiefs
Has anyone eaten Koi?
Anyone know why people don't eat them?
It's one of the two native Japanese animals I can think of the Japanese don't eat. The other being Mountain Monkey.
Just gotta wonder why

They're considered good luck to have and are a symbol of perseverance, strength and affluence. Kind of defeats the purpose to kill and eat it.
