Ed Sheeran admits having weirdest sea food

Ed was quizzed in a Q/A session with Kapil Sharma about the weirdest food he ever had while travelling for his musical concerts. The singer recalled eating fish sperm from the chef's menu when he went to a restaurant in Japan.

Ed said, “Fish Sperm. Basically in Japan, they have this. When you go to a sushi or omakase restaurant, it's basically, like, the chef makes stuff and he puts it down, and it will be like Nilgiri, or other little things. And usually I think it's called Shirako. And it's basically a testicle that you eat and it explodes in your mouth. Some people love it. I'm not a big fan of it.” The audiences including Kapil and Archana Puran Singh were left surprised as they laughed at the British singer's honest confession.
