Summer, it’s the season for Cornish mackerel.
They get really nice fat and size is so big!

I quite like Mackerel’s face which looks like smile.
And another gift from the mother nature of Cornish coast was sea bream.

I chose the smallest one from my fish monger.
I love to clean a sea bream so much.
Make it fillet first and then lightly sear the head and bone, and make a broth using the head and spine.

Remove blood by applying sea salt over.

Lightly grill for adding nice flavour into a broth.

Make the risotto using the sea bream broth and kelp.

That is in no sense a flavourless food.
For the fillet, I cured that with boiling water over that is typical Japanese cooking skill, Yubiki (湯引き).
This time, I arranged the mackerel to a traditional Japanese food, Miso Braised Mackerel, which is called Saba Miso Ni (鯖の味噌煮).
The plate was “Miso Braised Mackerel, Yubiki Sea Bream Nigiri, Sea Bream Risotto, Ponzu Wakame Salad”
