Cooking implements
Cook our dried fish in a gas oven, fish grill, toaster oven, fish roaster or frying pan.
Fish grill with a single
heat source
Start cooking with the skin side down, then flip over to grill the skin side.
Toaster oven
Defrost first. Spread a piece of tin foil under the grill grate. Start cooking with the skin side down.

Frying pan
Preheat your frying pan. Line the pan with parchment paper and place the fish in the pan. Put a lid on the pan while cooking.
Cook over low heat until golden brown.
Flip over to cook the other side well.
If the fish has skin, start cooking with the skin side down.
Cooking time
Cooking time varies depending on the type of fish, its thickness and the cooking equipment.
You need to keep an eye on it and adjust the heat and cooking time as necessary.
The general rule of thumb is that you cook the fish until its flesh is a golden brown.
Once cooked
Serve with grated radish, sushi vinegar, ponzu vinegar, soy sauce, chili powder or mayonnaise.
Some dried fish can be grilled with cheese on top.
Characteristics
Our dried fish can be cooked quickly with minimal smoke.
Notes
Dried fish is low in moisture. When overcooked, it quickly loses oil and becomes tough.
