What do you think of the taste?

We cook it with a spicy Korean paste and daikon radish. It is delicious and one of my favorite cooked fish. It is a strong seasoning and it even tastes good with mackerel. With that seasoning, I do not think I can tell the difference between vertical and diagonal stripes. I even like mackerel grilled with salt. I tried grilling a bonito steak and it wasn’t bad. Next time we will create a dipping sauce for it because it is a little lean compared to a mackerel.

I am eating it again tonight!

For sure a fun catch. Had to do a triple take when I saw it at color.

Aha, spiceeey is the key. With that kind of sauce one can eat any creature, doesn't have to be a fish, ha-ha. Reminds me of a tiny tube of Wasabi still in the fridge sitting there from Bush-the-Elder era... never had the guts to finish it.
