Japanese sand lance season

In the area along the sea in the southern part of Hyogo prefecture, it is customary to cook the fry of sand lances "Ikanago" in March.
Many people cook a lot of sand lance fry.
It's called "Ikanago no kugini".  In Japanese, Kugi is nail and Ni is boiled.
It looks like rusted and bent nails. That ’s why it ’s called.
During this time, those people are busy cooking and shopping.
My mother is busy and frustrated to cook. This isn't obligatory. She doesn't have to cook that much.
The fishing is only allowed in March.
The price of sand lance has increased due to the decrease in catch in recent years.
Despite the cost and effort, people buy and cook sand lances.

The Fry of sand lances is seasoned with soy sauce, syrup, ginger, etc.
In these areas, at this time of year, the smell of cooking fish with soy sauce drifts.
It's a smell that signals the arrival of spring for us.
"Ikanago no kugini" has a strong taste, is well preserved, and is eaten little by little every day.

And those people distribute a large amount of cooked sand lances to their neighbors and relatives.
I don't think it's necessary to distribute it to the neighborhood because the neighbors also cook sand lances.
The taste is slightly different for each household.
