Kusaya is fish that has been soaked in salty water and the left in the sun to dry. If that's not gross enough, the salt water is NEVER changed. They just keep soaking fish in the same bucket over and over and over. And the bucket is just left out in the sun. Some of these brine buckets have been sitting in the sun and soaking fish for hundreds of years. Got that? Fish left out in the sun for hundreds of years. Sounds yummy. But here's the funny part. Kusaya, apparently, literally means 'that stinks' in Japanese. So if you go to a restaurant in Japan and order something 'that stinks', this is what they will serve you. This might be the perfect food for Stink Week. Don't believe us? Watch this video of a woman smelling Kusaya for the first time. We suspect some Stink Week stinkers will react the same when smelling their own armpits.
