DESCRIPTION :
Shimesaba is a traditional Japanese dish made from marinated mackerel. The name “shimesaba” translates to “cured mackerel,” reflecting the preparation method of preserving the fish in a vinegar-based marinade. This process not only enhances the flavor but also helps to extend the shelf life of the fish. To make shimesaba, fresh mackerel fillets are typically salted briefly to draw out excess moisture, then rinsed and soaked in a mixture of rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. The marinade infuses the fish with a tangy, slightly sweet flavor while preserving its delicate texture. The acidity of the vinegar marinade contrasts beautifully with the richness of the mackerel, creating a harmonious combination that is both refreshing and satisfying. Mackerel is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for heart health, and the vinegar marinade adds a boost of acidity and probiotics, promoting digestion and gut health.
