How to Marinate White Fish Like Flounder in Konbu Seaweed
- 1/2 fish worth Flounder, righteyed flounder or other flat white fish
- 1 enough to cover the fish Kombu
- 1 dash Salt
- 1 dash Vinegar
- I used a stone flounder this time.
- Spread the fillets open.
- Sprinkle lightly with salt, and leave for 30 minutes to an hour until moisture comes out of the fish.
- Wipe off all the moisture that has come out of the fish.
- Wipe down the konbu seaweed carefully with vinegar.
- It will become soft and will absorb flavors better, plus it's more hygienic.
- Stack the konbu seaweed, then a piece of fish, then konbu, then fish, then konbu in alternate layers.
- Wrap it all up tightly in plastic wrap.
- Weight down with something fairly light.
- I often use a non-frozen ice pack.
- It's very stable.
- Leave to marinate in the refrigerator for 6 hours or more, up to 2 to 3 days.
- Stop when it reaches the flavor you want.
- You can treat leftover pieces of sashimi in this way.
- They are ready in about 3 hours.
- Chop up the konbu seaweed that you used and immerse it in soy sauce.
- Eat it with sashimi.
- You can also use the konbu seaweed to make dashi stock, or chop it up and add it to simmered dishes.
- This is a wider view of the plate in the top photo.
- This is fish that's been marinated for a whole day.
- It's so delicious!
- This has been marinated for 2 days.
- The color of the konbu seaweed has been transferred to the fish a little.
- It has a rich, moist texture and is packed with the umami of the konbu seaweed.
