Crispy grilled saury

Cut the saury in half diagonally from the center (leaving the innards intact) and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper

Remove the stems from the shiitake mushrooms and use a knife to make thin slits in the caps

Heat olive oil in a frying pan and slowly fry the saury, placing the serving side down, over low heat for about 10 minutes. (Use chopsticks to fry the sides as well.)

After 10 minutes, when the saury starts to release oil, add the slit shiitake mushrooms, crushed garlic, and lemon and continue cooking

Once the shiitake mushrooms have softened, remove them from the frying pan and begin to cook the underside of the saury. To brown the inside, change the heat from low to medium and cook for 3 to 4 minutes

Place the saury on a plate, top with shiitake mushrooms and a pinch of chives, garnish with chopped lemon, and drizzle with olive oil to finish
