Ever had shira uo?

They're glassy little fish, about the size of a skinny pinkie finger.

The only color in them is a hint of smoke, and two little
black eye spots that look like they're drawn on by touching
the fish with a felt-tip pen.

They're served raw as gunkan sushi (where the rice ball
is wrapped vertically with nori to make a container for
the fish, eggs, etc).

That picture reminded me of that.
