Cooking tips

Simply removing the thin transparent skin on the back and the dark membrane in the belly can eliminate more than 50% of the fishy odor.
Marinating with tuna sauce and vegetable oil creates a protective barrier against air exposure, preventing oxidation and maximizing the rich umami flavor unique to oily fish.
Never cover the pan while grilling fish—closing the lid traps the fishy smell and moisture, which re-condenses onto the fish; always grill with the lid open to let the odor escape.
