Seared Rosy Seabass Sushi [Nodoguro no Aburi]
Katsuo
Japanese Name and Pronunciation:
[nodoguro no aburi]
In Japan, “Nodoguro Aburi Sushi” is a delectable sushi preparation featuring the Rosy Seabass, also known as Nodoguro.
Nodoguro is a delicious fish, especially its skin side, so it is recommended to enjoy it seared and eat the skin along with the fish. Nodoguro Aburi Sushi is made by lightly searing fresh Nodoguro to enhance its natural flavors and add a subtle smoky taste.
The lightly seared Nodoguro is then skillfully sliced into sushi-sized pieces. This results in mouthwatering sushi that perfectly balances the fish’s tender and flaky texture with the added crispness and smokiness from the grilling process.
Nodoguro Aburi Sushi is served with care, often garnished with a touch of wasabi or accompanied by soy sauce for those who desire a bit of extra flavor.
Nodoguro is considered a high-end fish, which is why you rarely come across Nodoguro sushi at conveyor belt sushi restaurants. It is typically served only at upscale sushi establishments. However, it is absolutely exquisite, so if you ever have the opportunity, I highly recommend trying it.
