Grilled Honmoroko with Dorosu

Honmoroko (willow gudgeon) can be caught all year round in Biwako Lake. They are said to be one of the most particularly tasty fish of the carp family, and are sold with high price to high-end restaurants in Kyoto. Especially the honmoroko with eggs that can be caught in winter are the specialties of Biwako, and are very rare to find. In Shiga, the honmoroko caught in Biwako are enjoyed with dorosu.
