Ayu

/ˈɑːjuː/ noun

Definition

A small freshwater fish (Plecoglossus altivelis) native to East Asia, prized in Japanese and Korean cuisine.

Etymology

From Japanese 'ayu' (鮎), a word of uncertain ultimate origin but deeply embedded in Japanese culinary and cultural tradition for over a thousand years.

Kelly Says

The ayu fish is so important to Japanese summer culture that catching them on special hooks is a meditative art form—ayu fishing season signals the change of seasons and appears in classical poetry and woodblock prints.
