The taste of saury, cats and you want to know.
—— Fang Wenshan, "Seven Li Xiang"
One onion and one say
I don't know how many people have become curious about saury after listening to Jay Chou's "Seven Mile Fragrance", and the inspiration for Fang Wenshan's lyrics is actually from Ozu Yasujiro's movie "The Taste of Saury". This film, which was selected as one of the top ten films of the year by Japan's "Film Shunbao", tells an ordinary story of father and daughter with the usual simple and simple narrative method of the island country.
The film depicts that the old father, who has been relying on his daughter for care since the death of his wife, suddenly finds that he has delayed his daughter's lifelong event because of himself, and uses a blunt way to urge his daughter to marry, but the daughter mistakenly thinks that the father wants to drive him out of the house. And on the night of his daughter's marriage, the father went to the bar alone to drink, and the hostess saw him dressed formally and asked him: "Where did you come back today?" Is it a funeral? Father thought for a moment and nodded, "Well, that's the same thing you can say." ”
The entire film does not appear saury, but only expresses a seemingly innocent but intriguing affection between a father and his daughter to be married, like the taste of saury.
Today I will teach you to make this intriguing dish.

Saury to the guts, to the head and tail. Use running water to wash the black inner membrane inside the stomach to remove fishiness.
Minced garlic, mixed with grapefruit pepper and lemon juice and cooking wine, spread over the surface of the fish, and stuff the excess solid seasoning into the belly of the fish. Marinate for 15 minutes. Go fishy.
Pour about 30-40ml of water into the pan, spread the tin foil and stack the fish. Cover the pot, simmer over low heat for 4 minutes, turn over and simmer for another 4 minutes.
Change to medium heat, drizzle with a little sesame oil, fry for 1 minute on each side, sprinkle the mint leaves out of the pan.
tips
As a marine fish, saury has its own unique sea flavor, but for some friends who are not good at seafood, the fishy smell may be a big reason to resist it. In addition to the garlic and lemon juice commonly used, this time we chose a seasoning unique to Japan- yuzu pepper sauce, the sauce is a bit spicy, with some yuzu fragrance, can remove some unpleasant "seafood".
This season's saury has less fat content than autumn saury, and in order to improve the taste of dried fish and wood, sesame oil is added before cooking to add flavor and moisten the fish.
The first section uses the water vapor in the pot to steam the fish, and the back section uses the excellent heat conduction effect of tin foil to simulate the effect of grilling and "roast" the skin. After frying, discard the tin foil directly, eliminating the trouble of washing the pot.
Spring blooms under a clear sky,
Cherry blossoms bloom brilliantly,
Left alone here, I only feel dazed.
Remembering the taste of saury,
The fallen cherry blossoms are like rags,
Sake carries the bitter taste of yellow lotus.
This is the verse that Ozu left in his diary when he wrote the script of "The Taste of Saury". I miss my deceased mother.
In the splendid world, if there is no companionship of relatives, there is always a hint of bitterness.
Pour a glass of sake
Taste it with your father.
Taster experience: grapefruit, oily, delicious
