Sashimi Grade Japanese Konbu Aged Saba (Kelp Aged Japanese Mackerel) - Frozen 140g

昆布じめ さば 冷凍

Konbu jime Saba also known as Saba fillet aged in Japanese Kelp is an extremely common and popular dish eaten throughout Japan. Saba is mostly caught of the southern coasts of Japan. In the past when cold chain and refrigeration were not commonplace, fishermen and chefs used to wrap fish with kelp to preserve and age fishes such as saba so that they could be kept longer. Little did they know that wrapping kelp around a fatty fish like Saba would further elevate its flavor to the next level. 

How does the Saba taste?
Konbu Jime Saba is fatty and extremely delicious, it has a slight sweet umami flavour and natural saltiness from the saba fish itself.

All you need to do is defrost, remove the Kelp and Slice! The kelp on top of the saba is already loose and can be easily removed if preferred before slicing and eating.

This procedure is amongst the best of techniques in freezing foods and ensures quality that is unmistakable from its fresh counterpart
