About Shishamo

Shishamo, a small saltwater fish native to Japan, is widely enjoyed in Japanese cuisine for its delicate flavor and crisp texture when grilled or fried. Known as willow leaf fish due to its slender shape, Shishamo is often served whole, including its bones, skin, and roe-filled belly. It is a rich source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, calcium, and essential vitamins like A and D, supporting heart health, bone strength, and overall vitality. The roe provides an added nutritional boost with essential minerals. While Shishamo is typically low in calories, cooking methods like frying can increase fat content. Consuming it as part of a balanced diet ensures maximum health benefits while limiting potential downsides. Shishamo’s simplicity and wholesome qualities have made it a popular dish, perfect for pairing with steamed rice and vegetables in Japanese meals.
