fish of the day

another "fish" from yesterday's ride through the mountains

魚翅瓜 "fish fin melon" (or perhaps "shark fin melon")
according to wikipedia it is (Cucurbita pepo)
aka the spaghetti squash in English,and 金絲瓜 ("golden strand melon") in Japanese;
all names deriving from its yellow fibers

in Taiwan it is mostly used as an ingredient in soup
