To use, simply drain the olive oil or reserve it for other culinary uses. The bonito can be flaked and added directly to recipes.

Bonito differs from tuna in its smaller size and often a more pronounced, slightly gamier flavor.

This makes it a distinct choice for those seeking a different seafood profile.
