Michelin star chef inspired to add ‘fish semen’ to the menu at high-end restaurant: report

A Michelin star chef born in Spain is considering adding fish sac semen to his restaurant's menu after trying the delicacy, called shirako, in Tokyo.

Dabiz Muñoz, a Michelin star chef born in Madrid, Spain, is considering adding "fish semen" to his restaurant’s menu after he made a trip to Japan, according to the New York Post.

Muñoz learned about a famous dish, called shirako, from Japanese chef Hiro Sato, The Post reported. Shirako appears like a white paste but is actually the sperm sacs of male fish. It can be served both raw and cooked. 

Muñoz posted a picture of shirako on his Instagram page in April from Hakkoku, a popular sushi restaurant in Ginza, one of Tokyo’s trendiest neighborhoods
