Sourced and processed entirely in Japan, it comes as two loins, lightly seared and ready to eat after a simple thaw, much like katsuo tataki without the preparation. Winter sawara has no off or fishy taste, which makes it a clean, refined choice. Each pack is about 2.0 lbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"seto-p\"\u003eThe written character for sawara (鰆) joins fish and spring, but winter is when it carries the most fat — kan-zawara, the cold-season fish, is the prize. The belly-rich loins have a soft, melting quality closer to toro than to a lean white fish, and the light sear on the surface adds aroma while the inside stays raw.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"seto-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"seto-h3\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"seto-spec-table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJapan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eToro sawara (鰆) — Spanish mackerel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCut\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTwo loins, lightly seared\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eapprox. 2.0 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSeason\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWinter (peak fat)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eState\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrozen, ready-to-eat after thawing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBest for\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSashimi, sushi, tataki-style\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"seto-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"seto-h3\"\u003eHow to enjoy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"seto-p\"\u003eIt's already seared, so thaw and slice — no cooking needed.
