Redlip mullet usutsukuri sashimi
This month's issue is also similar fish
It is not that the fish which is characterized by similar appearance continued for 2 months, but it eventually became it.
Well, do you know which is the name fish?
Actually, Heisei era 27 FISH FOOD TIMES When I feature the mullet at No.144, No.145 of the 12th month, I mentioned a bit about this fish.
The top of the top two images is Redlip mullet belonging Mullet second, Mullet family, Liza genus. Its name is called Yasumi in Fukuoka, Saga district, Syukuchi in Okayama, Akame in Hiroshima, Hiiko in Hiroshima, "red eyes" and "red mouth" as the image below, and red as a whole It is a characteristic feature.
The lower two images above are Mullet belonging to Mullet second, Mullet family, Mullet genus. The season of Mullet is from December to January in winter, but the season of Redlip mullet is from spring to summer, there is no fishy odor from Mullet, and its elegant taste white is like Mullet It is traded as an exclusive fish that does not compare.
However, if you look at the image of the head as shown in the two images below, it is like a serpent fighting with an enemy, becoming bloody, swallowing something and staring at it. People with weak feel may be afraid of seeing this image.
The spawning season of Redlip mullet is from April to May, and the ovaries are also made raw materials of Karasumi like mullet. When fishing mullet, it seems that it becomes reason to trade at high price due to the scarcity that Redlip mullet is mixed at the rate of about 1 fish in 100 fishs.
In the area facing the Ariake Sea, as Redlip mullet grows like mullet, the name changes as Ebinago → Ebina → Akame → Yasumi → Nayoshi, and it is an auspicious fish to be promoted.
Still image photography at the interval
Well, from now on, I'd like to go into the process of cooking and commercializing Redlip mullet, but this time I introduced a camera function that can do automatic still image photography by interval alone, so let's introduce it in the following form.
There seems to be some opinion that it is better to do a time lapse movie if you record a still picture of an interval. Regarding this, however, when I made a movie of the disassembly process of catfish at the time of FISH FOOD TIMES No. 145 January issue (dismantling of catfish https://youtu.be/3Z5xB3vodSM), that About 12 minutes (of course, edited edited with unnecessary portion cut) is felt unusually long time, as for me the movie is not suitable for the content of FISH FOOD TIMES, it is useless ... It has reached the conclusion.
This is automatic still image photography at 10 second intervals, and I intend to excerpt only the parts that are supposed to be necessary later. However, if you feel that you do not need so many still pictures, please skip the picture.

Delicious fish not noticed
Redlip mullet is a delicious fish. The price of 1 fish is higher than that of mullet, but it is not necessarily a price not reachable for relatively large fish bodies, and cost performance is a better fish.
As mullet changes its color darker over time, it is often avoided in sashimi. However, in the case of Redlip mullet, no sudden discoloration as mullet is seen, and as you can see in the process image above, if you add hands such as sharpening a part of a dark part originally or yellow fat a little bit, the red color of the blood is Keeping long, sashimi can last for long while it looks delicious.
The catch of Redlip mullet seems to be relatively large in the western Japan area, but in Japan it seems that it lives in its own way anywhere in Hokkaido including the inner bay and the brackish water area, so in East Japan and northern Japan it is not so familiar It seems that there are few things to see because it is out of the catch target.
The season that Redlip mullet becomes the most delicious from spring to early summer after April. Although it looks like mullet, the contents are also quite different fish. As well as being a fish that is not attracting much attention, if you handle it better, you will be able to make it a fish with a high contribution to the store for the shop.
