yesterday at the local street market my mom asked the fish monger to keep an eye out for mullet at the auctions. she brought home three this morning with a few raised eyebrows "ma'm what are you planning to do with all that fish?" "oh we're making mullet roe for chinese new year" "why make it yourself? save the hassle and get a prepared gift box, who has the time these days to do that" by all measures the bystander is correct, it's more cost effective to buy instead of preparing this coveted delicacy as it takes days and the professionals know how to get every bit of hydration and keep quality control at scale. *in the kitchen with a handful of fish guts* "yeah mom, why are we doing this again this year? what did you say?" "oh wheres your festive spirit this year, these fish only swim by during this time!" ~34,000 sats for the fish and to keep a tradition alive 🧐 thanks again #bitcoin
