Silver Fish
These appear to be juveniles, and may be of a variety of fresh
water herring, but I'm not sure. They're sold in Asian markets as frozen
blocks of random sized fish, generally from 1/2 inch to 2 inches long,
labeled "Silver Fish". They're also sold dried in tubs or bags labeled
"Silver Anchovy", but I don't know for sure if they are actually anchovies.

These fish don't have a lot of flavor but they're an interesting addition to
thin soups. To use them, run warm water over one corner of the block with a
mesh strainer below. Run the water until as many fish as you want have fallen
off the block into the strainer. Wrap the block and put it back into the
freezer compartment. Toss the fish into the soup just before you take it
off the heat.
