Dried Hokkaido Rausu Kinki

きんき一夜干し (北海道羅臼産)

In the days before refrigeration, bountiful catches of fish were traditionally gutted, either split down the back or butterflied (belly-split), and dipped in sea water before being set out to dry in well ventilated spaces. This would extend their shelf life considerably and also concentrate their flavor.

Kinki fish is considered a delicacy in Japan for their succulent and fatty white flesh. Tender, delicate, and sweet flesh that falls off the bone. Such an amazing fish from Hokkaido, Japan.  You will be amazed at how tasty it is even if you consider yourself a connoisseur. “Kinki” fish is a rockfish that is a rare fish found in Hokkaido. 

In Hokkaido, Rausu's Kinki is best of the best due to nutrient-rich and clean deep water in the region. 

Place fish flesh side up and broil until well browned.
