Seafood shoppers may on rare occasions encounter the preserved bodies of aliens -- or even Jenny Haniver specimens -- at fish markets in Japan.

These two darlings were photographed at a shop on Oharai-machi Street near the entrance to Ise Shrine in Mie prefecture.

I bought it on a whim about 8 years ago. Slow, psychedelic 'island' music. Think hawaiian music if they've all been doing too much acid.
