John, I like "the family guy" but I didn't find that joke particularly funny. that's all. I think jokes about Hiroshima are about as offensive as jokes about Auschwitz. Alright, you guys.

My family is Mexican and we eat something similar to this. The fish is different though, it looks like tai but bigger, and it's not microwaveable. We go to a fish market, pick them out, fish handling people remove the scales and clean them, then they put them in bags and we take it home to cook. After that it's time to eat! あけましておめでとうございます!

I advise you not to joke about it. The eye is actually a sticker which was carefully placed over the real eye of the fish.

"goodbye and thank's for the fish", that came into my mind when i saw that really sad-looking little (hopefully very tasty) friend. but why did they print origami-swans on it? this only reminds me of hiroshima… and i guess fish there looked a bit worse than this one after "the" bomb. very impressing – even for a german – how these japanese are able to pack fish this accurately!!! thanks for this nice view into japanese culture… have a nice day… ;-) p.s.: what did its face look like after being in the microwave? have the eyes still been in there? hi roy!

I wonder why the Japanese seem to think it's such a great idea to eat fish that way. It just makes me feel bad for the fish. :( An interesting idea, but I just can’t bring myself to eat anything that still has a face… I wonder why the Japanese seem to think it’s such a great idea to eat fish that way.

I would try it anyway.
