Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Never add soy sauce before sweetness—it will make the fish flesh tough and cause seasoning to sit on the surface. Always apply sweetness first.
  • Carefully remove all foam and floating impurities during boiling to completely eliminate the fish’s characteristic fishy odor and off-flavors.
  • If tamariki soy sauce is unavailable, use a small amount of natto soy sauce to achieve the rich, appetizing color typical of braised dishes.
  • In the final stage of braising, use high heat to reduce the broth quickly—this gives the dish its glossy, mouthwatering sheen.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to try authentic Japanese-style stew using leftover black sea bream heads after eating sashimi.
  • Anyone looking to master the recipe for a sweet-savory, deeply flavorful fish stew.
