Saury

Grill

Finally, got my hands on the sanma, the japanese name for the pacific saury. I had no grill so I did my best to use as little oil as possible to cook it in a pan. Just using salt and pepper to season, as recommended by the japanese, it takes about 10 minutes to cook the fish. The product? The fish were very sweet, but the bones were tiny and numerous. However, the bones were managable. the flesh came out in chunks and the bones easily peeled off the flesh. Having said that, don't lose concentration while eating or a bone will definitely go down the throat. All in all, a fish that I will definitely consider buying once a week or so. RM2.80 to RM3 for 2 fish from Cold Storage. A great price for so sweet a fish.

The two sanmas. mmmm ~

Mmmmmm....fish...
So that's what came off the pan that day. Looks good! Put some of that black sauce (Teriyaki??) and accompany that with some Jap rice, it'll be a winner. Kang would call this Jien Han Fish No.1.
