Barracuda (Kamasu)

カマス

Kamasu, known as barracuda in English, is a popular fish found in Japanese waters and holds a significant place in Japanese cuisine. It is a saltwater fish known for its long, slender body, sharp teeth, and silver-colored skin. One of the most popular ways to enjoy Kamasu is through shioyaki (salt-grilling).

Shioyaki is a traditional Japanese technique of preparing fish. Shio means salt and yaki means to grill, so the shioyaki way is to salt fresh fish, then grill it to perfection.
