The fillet has to be sold for raw eating with a stated parasite-control freeze, and even then it stays at 4°C or below while it is prepared.

Instructions

5 steps
  1. 1

    Use a fillet labeled for raw consumption and verify its parasite-control freezing history with the supplier.

    Keep it at or below 4 degrees Celsius until preparation.

  2. 2

    Using a cleaned board and knife, pat the fillet dry with a paper towel and inspect it for any remaining bones.

  3. 3

    Remove any pin bones with cleaned fish tweezers, then run a fingertip over the fillet to check again.

  4. 4

    Remove the skin if it is still attached, then slice the fillet diagonally across the grain into 0.5 cm pieces.

  5. 5

    Arrange 50 g onion and 30 g water dropwort on a plate and add the mackerel.

    Serve with 0.5 lemon, 3 tablespoons sweet chili paste sauce, 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon wasabi, keep the dish cold, and eat immediately.

Tips

Cold-chain handling is still required even when parasite-control freezing is documented. Do not store leftover mackerel sashimi.
Keep the 0.5 lemon and sauces separate and add them only immediately before eating.
