You often see this dish at an izakaya (Japanese gastropub), but I made this recipe to make it at home.

You can eat the scales after deep-frying the fillets, but if you don't like the texture, shave the scales with a knife first. By adding a little sugar, it makes the ponzu taste better and not so sour. The fins and frills will be brown and crispy, and you can eat everything apart from the backbone. Recipe by Hoshirun
