겨울엔 대방어, 여름엔 시마아지! 이게 뭐길래?
A fish often featured in omakase: “Shimaaji (縞鯵)” It looks similar to yellowtail, but when you taste it, it’s light and clean like a white-fleshed fish, yet the more you chew, the richer the fat becomes—almost like tuna otoro. That unique balance is why Shimaaji is considered a premium neta at sushi counters in both Japan and Korea. In this video, we cover the entire process: • The true identity of Shimaaji (Striped Jack) • The difference between horse mackerel and Shimaaji • The unique “scutes” structure found in the jack family • The traditional scale-removal technique Sukibiki (すき引き) • Shimaaji preparation and aging techniques • Isobe-maki with fresh chamnamul (Korean wild parsley) • Shimaaji belly nigiri sushi Once you taste it, it’s the kind of fish you keep coming back for. Let’s begin the story of Shimaaji. If you found this video helpful, please like and subscribe.
