Smoked bonito is absolutely EMMmmmm , Still to try your sashimi recipe though Hey Pongrass, well I had the Bonito cocktail style and I was impressed.Fillet the Salmon, debone, skin off and you can see a huge blood line through the middle,REMOVE IT and dont leave any red behind. Thin slice the Salmon about an inch thick and dunk into the beer batter made of flour, beer, chilli as much as you want, fry until Golden Brown and put the salt last, some lemon slices and away you Go. Met a Bloke down at Garrie yesterday and the was told to make a dip made of Balsamic vinegar, crushed Garlic and chilli, wasn't Bad as dip. will make The smoked Salmon next time. Ps I have tried smoked Bonito and Tailor, not bad at all and one thing for sure, after a fishing trip you build up such an appetite the only thing to satisfy you is fresh fish Has anyone got another Salmon recipe to try.
