Seki horse mackerel and seki mackerel sashimi

“Seki horse mackerel” and “Seki mackerel,” which are well known throughout the country, are high-class fish that can be caught in the Toyo Strait off the coast of Saganoseki in Oita prefecture. The secret of its deliciousness lies first of all in the topography of the Toyo Strait. The Toyo Strait is also called the Bungo Channel, but the Seto Inland Sea and the Pacific Ocean just collide, and the water temperature is constant throughout the year. Therefore, there are an abundance of various creatures that feed on them. And the creatures in this strait have a lot of momentum when they are caught in rough seas, and they become tight and tight like no other. Normally, horse mackerel and mackerel are migratory fish, but since the environment is too comfortable, there is no need to leave, so “Seki horse mackerel” and “Seki mackerel” are “setsuke” horse mackerel and mackerel that are not often seen elsewhere.
