Saba Shioyaki (grilled mackerel)

Saba Shioyaki is grilled mackerel with salt, and it is a very common everyday kind of seafood dish in Japan. It is a very simple dish, with a flavor that comes only from salt and the fish itself, but you never get tired of it. Saba (mackerel) is widely caught in the sea near Japan. Because the fish is abundant all year around, Saba is a great choice of fish for people on a budget, like most everyone. Some types of Saba are in season in fall and winter, that means it has more fat and is more flavorful, but the quality of the fish is very stable any time. That is why Saba always tastes good. Especially today, frozen mackerel is available in many stores, even in the States.
