I just have a problem with sticking it without any context, sense to a plot and breaking the world cohesivness.

The lizard people eat fish raw
Getting fresh fish, which is what they're really good at, would be preferable over using up stored food
Sometimes, they take with them people on the ship who can't eat fish the way they do
So it makes sense that the lizard sailors would know how to prepare raw fish (freezing, deboning, cutting them into bite-sized pieces, etc)

Fermented food or seasoning with a long shelf life shouldn't be unusual on a ship either.

Also, eating things raw isn't unique to any real world culture/cuisine, so it wouldn't be unusual for a fantasy world culture to be similar to one.

Lizard-san must be very popular with the ladies

You know, for once, it kinda makes sense for a raw fish delectable to be used in a seafare, by a fantasy race that seems like their entire race just warming up to the idea of cooking.
Like, why would a lizardman cooks when raw taste the best for them?
Why would a sailor risk burning their ship when they can just eat things raw?

And yet, here we are, abandon context and world-building, it looks like Japanese food, therefore I hate it.

That's a beautiful ship.

dario just won the heart of all the japanese readers (and sashimi lovers)

 

[Oeconomist]

One comic-book writer after another from [Nation A] writes stories in which people from other nations discover cuisine from [Nation A] and every fucking one of them just loves it, because of course it's presumed by the writer to be objectively wonderful.

Neither the claim that those who object are “butthurt” or that, golly, the cuisine is great is a respectable response to those who complain. Being “butthurt” makes no one wrong; and the fact that you or I or any other one person likes some sort of food doesn't make it plausible that every fucking person will like it, so that it is somehow good writing to have every fucking character like it.

So it turned into an isekai. And I was fond of it, because it was one of the few non-isekai fantasy stories I read.

Soy-sauce ... it doesn't go well with everything. I tried pure rice with soy-sauce and it wasn't a good experience, but I like me some sushi with it. Especially salmon nigiri or maki. I also found, that dipping cold schnitzel into soy-sauce is quite acceptable. You have to experiment a bit. Just do it with at least half a brain and don't put it onto ice cream or something.

Fun-fact: The taste of soy-sauce is quite similar to Maggi-Würze.

I don't know how many different soy-sauce types are out there, but I do prefer a brand. Kikkoman. But here in Europe its produced in the Netherlands and I don't know it and how much the recipe has been changed to suit european taste buds.

 

[Glomoro]

@Qelix Not necessarily. Even Dungeons & Dragons has a pseudo-Japan in a lot of its settings. The "far east" country is just an excuse to inject some Japanese culture into fantasy settings so you can let your dwarf weapon master specialize in katanas if you want or stuff like that. Rule of cool, basically.

 

[Hartland]

Lizardman reminds me of Kaiman from Dorohedoro... Though he would prefer gyoza over sashimi.

Its been a while since i've read an isekai like story with argonians

 

[chusetto]

Soy sauce? Is the lizardman an Isekaier?
