Salted Sockeye Salmon (Benizake)

Net Weight: 0.5 lb

Our Salted Sockeye Salmon is wild-caught and lightly salted in Japan, in the traditional beni shake style. Sockeye has deep ruby-red flesh and a rich, full flavor. Light salting brings out its natural savoriness and gives it a firm, flaky texture. It is a staple of the Japanese breakfast table and simple to cook: grill or pan-fry it and serve with steamed rice, miso soup or onigiri. Each piece is vacuum-sealed to keep it fresh.
