Tonight's selection: SSK Mackerel in Soy Sauce, $3.99. Unlike some cheaper Japanese brands, these mackerel were harvested in Japanese waters (国内水揚げ) so I was curious to see if there is a difference. The can contained five cross-sections of mackerel and the liquid was filled with globules of fatty scraps, but because I had stored the can upside down prior to consumption, a bit of a mushy sediment had formed on the surface of the mackerel, making it look like a real sloppa. The soy sauce was not as sweet as some of the others I've tried and really allowed the natural flavor of the mackerel to shine through, while the fish itself was firm and succulent. Quite good overall.
