Oyako Fried Rice

This morning for brunch I had an oyako fried rice.

What is that?

Well, normally "oyako" food would mean chicken and egg.
Oyako means parent and kid, so chicken...and egg.
(Not chicks!)

One of the common rice bowls in Japan is the oyako bowl.
A variation of that is the tanin bowl, which is beef and egg.
Tanin means "strangers" or "not of blood relation."

Anyway, I had an oyako fried rice, but it wasn't chicken and egg fried rice.
It was the ocean variation of "oyako."

Salmon and salmon eggs (ikura).

A lot of people don't like ikura, but I like it.
They pop in your mouth.
Mmm.

Now I smell like fish.
Mmm...?
