Wel-Pac Sanma-Kabayaki Broiled Sauries
What it is
These are whole saury fish that have been broiled and glazed with a sweet and savory sauce. The fish is typically deboned for easier consumption. Sanma, also known as Pacific saury, is a popular fish in Japanese cuisine. The kabayaki style involves grilling or broiling and basting with a tare sauce, often made with soy sauce, mirin, and sugar. This preparation method results in a tender fish with a rich, caramelized coating.

To prepare, you can gently heat the saury. One common method is to warm it in a pan over medium heat until it is heated through. Alternatively, you can place it in a preheated oven or toaster oven for a few minutes. Some people also enjoy it chilled straight from the can. The fish is already cooked, so the goal is simply to bring it to your desired serving temperature and enhance its flavors. It pairs well with steamed rice and pickled vegetables.
