It was served with a wonderful dark red, smooth dipping sauce, which tasted quite sweet, it was not tomato based. Anyone have any idea what this might have been? I never tasted anything like it berfore. Sat May 23 14:10:07 -0700 2009 322319 Wildgarlickydays 1 4709717 A Japanese restaurant in Japan or somewhere else? What kind of fish? Was the sauce thin, like soy sauce in consistency or thick, like ketchup? Sat May 23 17:39:53 -0700 2009 4709412 268623 deraumai 2 4710320 Grilled white fish, quite thick and smooth sauce. Sun May 24 05:07:51 -0700 2009 4709717 322319 Wildgarlickydays 3 4710697 Question still remains, was this a restaurant in Japan? If so, which part of Japan? If it wasn't in Japan, do you know which area of Japan the chef is from? It matters a lot, since every region of Japan has specialties not offered in other parts. Hard to answer your question without any detailed info. Sorry. Sun May 24 09:50:52 -0700 2009 4710320 10509 E Eto
