I'd keep it, but not a big deal.

For タバコ, we decided just to drop the nokanji tag. I think we should do the same here.

ししゃも・シシャモ is 熟字訓 for 柳葉魚

Kanjipedia, Sankoku

.
  Comments:
Wouldn't we usually have it as 柳葉魚:シシャモ since it's a foreign word used with kanji as 熟字訓?
I mean, I can see that ししゃも is used a lot, and sankoku even gives it as a headword. So it does make sense to have it.
But most kokugos have it as 柳葉魚:シシャモ, as described.

What about having a [nokanji] tag on ししゃも instead? Just out of curiosity
This way we would dissociate ししゃも from the kanji form and have シシャモ be the reading.

It doesn't give an error but I doubt it has been done before, has it?
