Bonito Tataki (Seared Bonito) is the representative sashimi dish of Kōchi prefecture. When the bonito skin is seared and charred, it gives an appetising aroma to the sashimi. Slice the fillets thicker than usual sashimi slices and eat them with ponzu dressing.

Japanese-style kingfish tartare, called Kingfish Tataki, is a similar dish to fish tartare but with miso flavour. The fish is chopped much more finely than standard fish tartare. Everything is done on a cutting board with a knife, including mixing the ingredients.

Just like my teriyaki chicken, teriyaki salmon is another popular home cooking dish in Japan.  It is so quick and easy to make. The teriyaki sauce goes so well with pan-fried fish and it is really yummy.

Sushi rolls are becoming a popular healthy take-away food in Australia. Most of them are made as large thick rolls, but the sushi rolls made at traditional sushi restaurants are thin, tiny rolls just perfect for finger food.

Japanese fish cakes are made in a similar way to Thai fish cakes but the flavourings are less spicy and use common Japanese seasonings. Unlike typical Western-style fish cakes, they do not use flour or mashed potatoes to bind the fish together.

This is an elegant looking dish suitable as an appetiser or a side dish. Steamed lotus root balls are made of grated lotus roots mixed with prawns (shrimps), gingko nuts and green peas.

When bite size pieces of deep fried fish are marinated in slightly sweet vinegar and soy based sauce with plenty of shredded vegetables, it transforms the fish into something totally different.

A very popular Chinese dish, Happosai (Combination Stir Fry) is not modified very much from the original Chinese version. It is made with lots of vegetables, meat and seafood coated with a thick flavoursome sauce.
