According to Ikeda san, there are 3 fish where you can eat the internals: the ankou (lantern fish), tara (cod), and the fugu (blow fish). Of course you can't eat the ovaries or the liver of fugu because they are highly poisonous. That ankou is an ugly critter isn't he? Anyway, I have partaken of the internals of all three. The liver of the ankou is the most unusual tasting although certain parts of the cod aren't far behind. Fugu is very mild. Anyway, I just thought you might like to know...

how about anchovies?
You are right! いわし (iwashi - small sardines), and various other minnows are also eaten whole. Here they are frequently dried. Speaking of anchovies, my favorite pizza here is "seafood mix" which usually has octopus, crab, tuna. Oishii desu ne.
