Cutlass

Wakayama prefecture is one of the leading cutlass fish production areas in Japan. It is caught off the coast of the Kii Channel, and cutlass fish dishes are familiar, especially in Arida City, where the Minoshima fishing port is located. Cutlass fish are generally eaten grilled or boiled with salt, but in Wakayama, where fresh cutlass fish are distributed, sashimi and cutlass fish sushi are also standard. The white and light meat is light and beautiful, and the elegance of a high-class fish drifts in the air. During the summer season, which is in season, you can eat it at most restaurants in the prefecture. Cutlass fish have high nutritional value and contain a lot of oleic acid, vitamin D, minerals, etc., so they are said to be highly effective in recovering from fatigue, etc., and are attracting attention.
