Cooking tips
- When selecting mackerel, choose one with a firm, resilient belly—it’s safer and better suited for sashimi and sushi.
- Farmed live mackerel with high oil content should not be soaked in vinegar too long—4 minutes is ideal to avoid altering the flavor.
- Always cut the finished sashimi while still wrapped in plastic wrap to prevent the flesh and rice from separating and ensure clean cross-sections.
Recommended for
- Those who want to try making premium, chef-style fermented mackerel sashimi at home.
- Experienced cooks looking to systematically learn professional live fish preparation and shime-sashimi techniques.
