There is one dish that I have been very fond of since my childhood. It’s a dish of Mackerel simmered in sweet miso sauce. Sadly I can’t cook it here in Melbourne because it is too hard to find fresh Mackerel, that is called ‘Saba’ in Japanese. Then I created this dish using canned Mackerel which is commonly available from most supermarket stores. The taste is almost same. It’s good enough for me. If you like Mackerel, why don’t you try it?
