#Firefly SQUID!

This place is in Toyama Bay, Japan. These squid light up when they feel like they’re in danger to scare away predators. Too bad it is the opposite for us… we flock like birds to go see them b/c this is so freaking cool! There are lots of boat tours that take you out in the middle of the night to see them.

If you don’t want to do middle of the night, I highly reco the firefly squid museum!  It’s a Japan museum at its best- tiny little personified squid characters, highly interactive ( you can touch the squid and other sea creatures). The best part is that there’s a restaurant on top ….. where you can EAT the firefly squid! They serve them up in a variety of ways- raw, poached, boiled, fried, on pizza, in noodles…etc.
