Try one with wasabi
I'd like to see this doing the rounds at a kaitenzushi counter.Its purpose is mysterious, but a fuel cell-powered robot fish has been developed by Osaka City University professor Tomoyuki Wakisaka, Nikkei Net reports.
The prototype moves by swishing its tail with power produced by mixing oxygen with hydrogen in an internal system that makes use of powdered calcium.
The novel approach would allow the little minnow to swim much longer than robot fish powered by ordinary batteries. The professor is also experimenting with magnesium to produce hydrogen to allow it to swim for three hours straight. A practical fuel-cell fish may be ready in two or three years.
Best served fresh.

I suppose one would use motor oil rather than soy sauce when dipping and serving this delicacy?

Yes, I think Penzoil and toro would make a good combination.
According to scientists now, there will be no more fish come mid-century. This little robot will be handy for our little empty futuristic aquariums - otherwise, I don't see a point.

Making robot fish, animals or babies is just plain fun. I, for one, would welcome a robot aquarium.
The article about the declining marine stocks is alarming. Japanese consume seafood with reckless abandon and there seems to be very little in the Japanese media on marine conservation.
"So Long and Thanks for All the Fish" indeed.
