食べるシーンはありません。
湯に通すとホタルイカの足が開く様子がかわいい。
富山県魚津市、金太郎温泉で食べたホタルイカは絶品でした。
桜の花が浮かぶ鍋に富山湾で獲れた新鮮なホタルイカを湯通しして酢味噌でいただいた。
ほのかに香る桜のにおいがなんとも言えません。
富山湾の春の味覚、ホタルイカ。

There is actually a Firefly Squid museum in Japan:
Hotaruika (firefly squid) Museum
As the only one of its kind in the world, the Hotaruika Museum offers visitors the chance to have an interactive experience with "hotaruika" and learn what firefly squids are all about. Its various facilities include the "Illusion Theater" (with the mysterious light of firefly squids as its theme) and the "Live Theater" (where you can enjoy the light emitting show of firefly squids from March 20 to May 31).
