Bonito season has started in Susaki

Good morning, afternoon, evening to all anglers in the world.

Greeting to all from Kochi Prefecture in Japan!

How are you doing guys?

Any memorial catch recently ?

Hope you had some.

 

Here, Susaki Tourism Fishing Center is very glad to announce that bonito season has arrived to Susaki this year!

Some boats launched from Susaki got lots of fat bonito on October 3rd.

カツオ6.6kg(14.5lb) Bonito! All bonitos are similar size to this one.

 

The reason why Susaki Toursim Fishing Center is very happy to inform this information is that Bonito is a kind of special fish in Kochi Prefecture.

If you have well-known knowledge about Japan, you might have heard of "Katsuo No Tataki"= "Seared Bonito" which is known as  delicacy of Kochi, though seared bonito is distributed to all over Japan. However, "Katsuo No Tataki" is always best when it is just seared. Plus. in Kochi, seared bonito is eaten with salt instead of  sauce and salt is better than sauce to me who tried both. Sauce is good but somewhat flavor of bonito decreases due to the flavor of sauce. On the other hand, salt even enhances the good flavor of bonito and melts with Bonito's on tangue.

Anyway, if you want to eat  fresh seared bonito with salt, you have to come to Kochi!

 

And, some other photos from Yoshino marina resort.

カツオThey are all about 6kg (13lb). Wahoo has been caught too. Wahoo is tasty according to internet.

Look at the shape of body of Bonito on the left up corner. Roundy shape is  the guarantee of high fat bonito.

 

Plus, on October 11th, there was biggest bonito ever caught.

I had never seen that big bonito like this. They didn't weigh but it is estimated over 10kg (22lb) !!!
