Familiar canned food, "mackerel can". Keeping it on hand is useful when you don't have enough side dishes.

Generally speaking, mackerel cans are boiled in water or soy sauce, but this time we will introduce a slightly unusual "smoked oil-pickled" mackerel can. Its name is "OIL SABADINE".


Oil mackerel is a mackerel can made by smoking fresh mackerel landed at Shizuoka / Numazu Port using the traditional Numazu method and soaking it in olive oil. It is a product that has won the gold medal at the "2015 National Canning Grand Prix".

I got 3 kinds of "original", "black pepper" and "garlic". The price was 500 yen (tax included) per piece.

First, open a standard original. The loosened mackerel soaked in olive oil is tightly packed.


Mackerel has a moist mouthfeel and a rich taste that spreads its umami and smoked flavor with each bite. The body is firm, and it is enough to eat while loosening.


You can enjoy them as snacks as they are, or you can enjoy them by matching them with rice, bread, or pasta. You can add it to your salad.


In addition, "Black Pepper" has a vivid black pepper scent, and "Garlic" has sliced garlic for a more punchy flavor. It will be more like a snack. as you like.



Various oil sabadins are on sale at web shops. I bought it at "Japan Department Stores Shokuhinkan" in Akihabara, Tokyo (end of December 2016).
