Furi-kake: literal translation "to shake" and "to pour over or cover with", it usually consists of Nori (dried seaweed the kind used in sushi), sometimes Dried Salmon Flakes or Bonito Flakes, sugar, salt and other seasonings. It can come in a glass jar or little pouches and used most frequently in Japan to top a bowl of steaming hot rice or to flavor Onigiri (rice balls which are as popular as sandwiches in country of the Rising Sun).

Our friend caught some Albacore so we had some on hand. What happened next seemed uber creative to me so I thought I'd share. I'd heard of Macadamian Nut or Shichimi (Japanese 7 or "shichi" Chili Spice - super mild used mostly for Udon) Encrusted Tilapia or Sole or whatever Fish have you BUT ... Furikake? It was a first for me.
