the best part of cod is the cheek. in japan, it's called
neko shirazu, which translates to "the cat doesn't know." apparently, even japan's fish-loving cats miss out on this bit because it's so small and hidden behind the eye and jaw cartilage. which is a shame really.
i ordered the cod cheeks at oaxen krog. i normally find table-side service a bit embarassing, but i was quite happy to watch this preparation, the cod cheeks and tongue combined with lobster and a nice rich broth.
ohh kitty... you don't know what you're missing
