MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.05

Title: Xxcarol's Sardine Snack Attack
Categories: Xxcarol, Japan, Seafood, Snacks
Yield: 1 Cup

1 c Dried sardines - niboshi
2 tb Shoyu (soy sauce)
1 tb Sake
1/2 ts Lemon juice

These little fellers are sold all over the place here in Sasebo! This
is the munchie of the pacific when one is tired of rice crackers.
Serve them with beer for a football game and watch'em disappear!

(hint, sardine may be confusing. Niboshi look rather like a dried
guppy-fish might in size. If you see a bag of tiny dried silvery
fish, thats them).

'Toast' the sardines in a good heavy dry skillet for a few seconds
then combine the rest and add it. Cook a few seconds longer until
the liquid is absorbed then serve.

Note: I actually use Mirin in place of the sake. Mirin is a rice
wine with added sugar. If you do not have sake, dry sherry or a deep
red wine will flavor match if not color match.

From the Sasebo Japan kitchen of: xxcarol, probably 2002

MMMMM

I'd think sardines would make good catfish bait but they may not stay on the hook very good.

Canned sardines are ok, but fresh sardines are great. I wouldn't use
them as bait. They're the catch.

Wrap them in a cheesecloth or other mesh and sink them close to
your bait. If what you think works, the catfish will come to them and
find your bait. It works with rotten chicken guts. This only works in
still or slow moving water. Mmmm, catfish!

I do like the candied version too!

A neighbor in Sasebo (Military stationed there) had a version that used
crushed red-hot candies mixed in and was similar to the blog recipe
above in most other ways.

It's a funny food, like Okonomiyaki, that has a bazillion variations
yet is recognizable in all it's forms.
