A dish of orange kiwi fish has become a popular item among those who like to enjoy the warmth of a sunny beach.
The koi in this photo was purchased by a couple for their backyard pool, which was built in the spring.
But it was not long before they decided to cook the fish, and the results were spectacular.ABC7 News anchor Jessica Dreyer talked with a local restaurant owner about the success of their dish and its appeal.
The restaurant owner said the fish was delicious.
“I’m glad I made it,” he said.
“We’ve made this dish many times before.
And I’m going to make it again.
I want to have one of these again, and again, so many times.
So this is our dish, and this is my favorite.”
The fish was purchased for the pool by a woman named Mariam.
“She was the first one I talked to when I said, ‘We want a koi,’ ” Mariam said.
Mariam has a kaiwai koi.
The fish is a medium-sized orange fish that looks like a kiwis head with a white stripe.
It has long, long fins that can be used for flapping.
She said her husband had the idea to cook up the dish when he first started fishing.
“He’s the guy that started cooking kaiwatai,” Mariam explained.
“When he first came back to work, he cooked kiwatai.
He had the first bowl, so I started making him kiwawai.”
She also said she is planning on making the dish again.
“My husband cooks it with me and I cook it with him,” Maram said.
Mariam also said they plan on bringing back their original dish, adding, “We want to make this again and again and hopefully the next time it’ll be good.”
Mariam and her husband were able to purchase the fish from a local fishmonger.
“The kaiwan was a really easy one to do,” she said.
