Striped Jack Loin (Shima Aji) 新鮮深海池魚 (縞鰺) 刺身

シマアジロイン $24.99/100g

Shima Aji or striped jack mackerel, fish with firm and luscious flesh with just the right amount of fat.  The fresh fish has very delicate, chewy, crunchy, and firm texture. As it ages, it gets smoother and filled with more fat.  Although it’s name has the word Aji in it, it is not in the mackerel family.  

Shima-aji is one of the most luxury fishes for Sushi and Sashimi. It is extensively farmed in Japan. But even the farmed fish is expensive. You rarely find it in supermarkets.

日本池魚肉厚刺少，肉質鮮嫩肥美，入口魚油甘香細膩，刺身能帶出池魚令人齒頰留香的油分。池魚王稱為「王」，是當之無愧的，它的油脂非常厚，入口質感爽脆，透着淡淡的鮮甜，建議厚切，才能將這種層次感都展現出來，配以姜醬油等可讓鮮味更突出。
