Which fish would you like to eat?



Last night in Nagasaki we decided to have a big Saturday night out.  Despite the rain we took a trip up to the top of the mountain to see the hazy night view of the sprawling city. Then on the recommendation of one of the hotel staff we headed into the entertainment district to an amazing fish restaurant. Here we were advised to eat the speciality of raw fish. The one we chose was then fished out from the tank in the restaurant and taken into the kitchen. It was then sent over on a dish with noodles with half of the flesh taken off for us to eat. What we didn't realise was that the fish was STILL ALIVE!!! It had a skewer under its head and out by its tail and I was tucking into the meat when I saw its head move!! The waiter came over and explained that yes it was still alive ..... 
Then we headed to the next door karaoke bar and ended up singing karaoke in our own booth for two hours.  You can understand the appeal,  as people have such small apartments they can come here and make so much noise. 
Then we headed to a tiny bar for one last cheeky beer and got chatting to a lad who had lived in Exeter as a student and he also loved fish and chips - well at least our fish is dead!
