‘Tatusta-agé’ is a very popular method of cooking Fish in Japan. Marinated Fish are coated with Potato Starch, then deep-fried. Marinade is often made with grated fresh Ginger. I love Mackerel ‘Tatsuta-agé’, but fresh Mackerel is hard to find where I live. Today I used Salmon, which is the most commonly available Fish in Melbourne.
