Simmered Kinmedai (Golden Eye Snapper) introduction
Kinmedai (金目鯛, Golden Eye Snapper) is a fish that represents Izu in Shizuoka Prefecture. It boasts a refined flavor with a delicate sweetness and umami from its natural oils, along with a thick, moist texture that melts in your mouth. The classic way to enjoy kinmedai is as "ni-zuke," simmered in a sauce made from mirin and soy sauce, which creates a perfectly balanced sweet and savory taste. Fresh kinmedai can also be served as sashimi or sushi, where its tender, slightly sweet flavor truly shines. This versatile fish is also well-suited for a variety of preparations, including salt-grilling, hot pot, or marinating in miso. It even complements Western-style dishes like bouillabaisse, carpaccio, or meunière.
