Dried fish

Each piece of Dried fish is hand opened and carefully processed by artisans.
Ingredients are carefully selected from the best fatty fish available at the time such as various kinds of mackerel, splendid alfonsino, rockfish, and blackthroat seaperch.
One of the biggest features of KOMATSU SUISAN’S Dried fish is that it is pickled in green tea. The effect of green tea, which contains a large number of catechins, produces dried fish that is soft, fluffy, and not fishy even after it has cooled. Being seasoned with salt makes them taste great even when baked from frozen as they do not lose flavor.

＜Grilled fish cooking method＞
1. Cook from frozen on a grill or pan with the skin side down.
　*In the case of using a fish grill, adding green tea instead of water will further plump up the fish and remove the odor.
2. When the skin is lightly browned, turn the fish over and cook until done!
