I tried filleting a fish I was given... and you won't believe what it actually was😳

Good morning, this is Oton's Kitchen🤗

Yesterday's events!
"Huh? What kind of fish is this?"

Looking at the fish my wife brought home,
that was the first thing I thought😅

It looks like yellowtail, but
I feel like it's a bit different...

But since we have it,
I decided to try filleting it anyway😁

To be honest,
it looks the part, but

👉 the inside is quite a mess😅

Instead of a deba knife,
I took on the challenge with my usual horse mackerel knife.

It was a bit difficult as expected...

Still, I managed to fillet it into three pieces,

and made sashimi and grilled collar😊

And when I tried eating it—

👉 "Whoa, this is super delicious"😳

The fat isn't overwhelming,
and it has a solid umami flavor.

I thought to myself, this isn't just any fish.

After looking it up later,

👉 it was a juvenile amberjack called "Shio"🐟

No wonder it was so good.

Even if it's a gift,
if you put in the effort, it becomes a feast.

I think that's the interesting part of cooking😊

It's simple, but
it's genuinely delicious.

It was that kind of time✨
