Both seer fish and salmon have good, thick skins, making them the perfect fish to use!
Soma realized that immediately...
... and then adjusted his dish to accommodate.
The pure white rice looks almost like little, gleaming flakes of snow.
The dark seer fish pushes its way up proudly through all that white...

“I understand pain now, it is just a part of being human, in fact, it is the most natural thing about it; and all those inner struggles and battles, they do not haunt me, they just recall a time of a thin skin that has now grown thicker, and that makes me who I am today. The woman I have come to be – that is something to be grateful for, especially when I had to strive to become her.”
Rita Teixeira, The Beauty of Every Day

“You should keep your expectations in line with reality. If you view the military as a job, you will be miserable. It's not a job, it's a lot more than that. As long as you wear that uniform, it is your entire existence. The demands of this 'job' will look large in just about every decision you make in what you think of as your 'personal life.' If you view the military as a club, you're also going to have a hard time. It's not some special affiliation you get to brag about—that mind-set will hold you back. And if you're easily offended, you're going to be miserable, too. You need a thick skin. But if you see the military as a system to obtain as much experience, training, and knowledge as possible in order to advance in your life, then you'll be fine. Understand that the air force is going to ask a lot from you. Just remember that you can get a lot in return from it as well.”
Rob Henderson, Troubled: A Memoir of Foster Care, Family, and Social Class
