Making the horse mackerel figure
This visually stunning sashimi uses a whole horse mackerel. Once you've mastered filleting horse mackerel, you can apply this technique to filleting other fish as well
How to make it
1
Cut the horse mackerel into three pieces. Remove any small bones from the filleted flesh with tweezers, then lightly rinse with vinegar
2
Peel off the skin, make cuts on the skin surface and cut into sashimi-like pieces
3
Insert a bamboo skewer into the tail and head of the backbone to form a bowl-like shape
4
Place [3] on a plate lined with garnish and shiso leaves, then arrange the fillets. Finish by topping with shiso flowers, shiso seeds, wasabi, and edible chrysanthemums, if desired
