Seafood, Vegetable

Small aji (horse mackerel) fried without batter and marinated in a sweet-vinegar sauce with onion and green pepper. Slow-frying makes the bones completely tender, so you can eat the whole fish — head to tail — in one bite. Light and refreshing, and just as good cold, which makes it a popular choice at izakayas and deli counters.

素揚げした小アジを、玉ねぎやピーマンと一緒に甘酢に漬け込んだ料理だよ。じっくり揚げることで骨まで柔らかくなるから、頭から尾びれまで丸ごとパクッと食べられちゃうの!甘酢のさっぱりした味わいで重たくなく、冷やしても美味しいから居酒屋やお惣菜コーナーでも人気だよ。
