Deep-fried Horse Mackerel (Aji Fry) is a traditional Japanese home-cooking dish. Butterflied horse mackerel is coated in breadcrumbs and deep-fried to a perfect golden colour. The method of butterflying the fish is unique as it opens the fish from the dorsal side instead of the belly side. This method is called ‘sebiraki’ in Japanese and the very detailed instruction for butterflying a fish is included in this recipe.Don't forget to see the section 'MEAL IDEAS' below the recipe card!
