Hello!
Today I found a perfect fish for “Nitsuke”.
”Sakana no Nitsuke” means “Simmered Fish”.
I have never met a person who doesn’t like Nitsuke.
“Tamori” is Perfect fish for Japanese simmered fish
This is the fish, ”Tamori”.
Another name is ”Setodai”.
To tell you the truth, this was the second time to get this fish because I usually don’t see this at supermarkets.
My first Tamori was at an outdoor fish market!!
When I asked the vendor his favorite Tamori cuisine, he answered “Nitsuke is the best”.
So I tried and it was so tasty.
Today I did my second “Tamori no Nitsuke” after 9 years!!
