"The fish you are about to eat are locally sourced from the Shadowfell, as are all of the ingredients you will taste here, and are completely boneless. They will be ever-so-slightly rubbery in some parts, but that is intentional. They should have a dark, almost chocolatey flavor in the cartilage, while they will have a soft, pleasing flavor in the juicy white flesh. The spicy saucs on top brings the two disparate flavors together into an appetizer that I hope you all will enjoy. \"

The "cartilage" turns out to be the rubbery part (like calamari; chewy, yet very edible and flavorful), while the flesh is soft and flaky like you'd expect from fish, although it is significantly more flavorful and less... fishy.
The spicy gravy really makes it a lot more palatable.
She closes the window as you leave, waving goodbye. You are able to escape safely and as you glance back you can see the Glassblower pull the curtains of the window closed.
'Yeah. And this is a good system. Lived in Pohaku City for a bit, the sewers were pretty rudimentary and, well, ya wouldn't wanna be down there when it hits monsoon season'

Flint slides into the water and swims about, getting frothy yellowish scum and even what looks like a wad of toilet paper in his hair. He doesn't seem to care
