The name comes from the fact that their body glows in darkness. Hotaru-Ika is delicacy in early spring, a kind of appetizer popular in Japanese Izakayas (tapas bars Japanese style). They go really well with Sake (try Junmai-shu)! They are called HOTARU-IKA, literallly meaning “firefly squid”. The name comes from the fact that their body glows in darkness.

But I would cook and devour the normal squid I am used to though. :P<br /><br />Teckiee - you are probably right. The purple sauce is made of the skin perhaps?! :P<br /><br />Tummy - yes, white dots are their eyes popping out. They are actually smaller than our sotong. <br /><br />Tiga - Ika is bigger squid I think. Grilled sotong Peranakan style, OK, another inspiration for me to use up my frozen banana leaves. :P<br /><br />Homesick Texan - welcome to RM and thanks for your comment. Tsukiji is fantastic, I love the tuna auction. <br /><br />BC - maybe. ;)<br /><br />Precious Pea - wow, yes, sambal sotong is sooooo good. <br /><br />Team BSG - I reckon you would eat anything edible. ;)<br /><br />Lucia - I love squid, but when I see lots of these spreading out in front of me with white eyes popping out...it was kind of disturbing. Another thing that I found disturbing when I was in Tsukiji market- a small bucket of many many many eels all swimming and tangling inside...eeewww. <br /><br />Sue - thanks...ko ika that is. I am sure they taste great. :)<br /><br />Sam - Your link is 404. <br /><br />Shilpa - Cuttlefish has a much wider body, yes? ;)<br /><br />Claude - thanks for your translation for me. I went to Babelfish for try to understand some of your French comment, and Babelfish got it translated all funny and wrong. LOL! <br /><br />Flower - I have never tried these before so I have no idea.
