Karei no Nitsuke (Simmered Karei fish)

karei no nitsuke Karei is a kind of flat fish.
It is rich in protein and low in fat.
And its protein is absorbed easyly.

It has soft texture and plain taste.

    Nobu, thanks - I am going to explore new types of fish now...I usually eat catfish or tilapia, but a new study has shown those aren't the healthiest. I am going to get some Karei to try - and some sake - is there any that is better to cook with?

    I like how Japan is very resourceful with cooking fish! I wonder why Japan and the Philippines have the same waters around them but you got fresher fishes and more wonderful cuisines!

    Happy weekend!
