Kashira Tsuki Shio Yaki (Broiled Whole Fish)
SERVINGS 6
6 small fish
Scale and clean one fish (mempachi, papio, moana, or small mullet) for each person. Cut two or three slits diagonally on each side of fish so heat will penetrate. Sprinkle salt and broil on both sides until cooked.
Serve each fish with a tablespoonful of grated turnip (daikon) and shoyu and a wedge of lemon, if preferred.
Kashira tsuki shio yaki is used especially on festive occasions. Tai would be the fish used in Japan.
