Thick, Juicy Cuts of Atka Mackerel — Ready in minutes

Love Japanese Fish, but don’t know how to grilling it well?
That’s exactly the idea behind this microwave-ready Western-style Atka mackerel.

Fatty, flavorful Shima Hokke (Atka mackerel) is finished with a Western-style oil sauce. Just heat the pouch in the microwave and it’s ready to serve. In minutes, tender, juicy fish and a fragrant sauce come together.

How to Enjoy

1.  Without opening the pouch, place it on a plate with the steam vent side facing up and put it in the microwave. ※ If the steam vent is facing down, the contents may leak out.

2. Microwave heating guide:

• After thawing: about 5 minutes at 500W

• From frozen: about 10 minutes at 500W

3.  During heating, the pouch will expand. When it reaches a certain point, steam will release from the vent. ※ Please do not open the microwave door while heating.

4. After heating, make sure the pouch has deflated, then remove it from the microwave while keeping it on the plate.

5. When opening, keep the steam vent facing up and open from the cut edge carefully.
