Handy Memos The owner of AT FISH, Aki-san, is actually a chef. He has had a career of cooking with many styles, not only sushi, but also French, Chinese, and California cuisine. He shows us how to prepare, cook, and preserve fish in a refrigerator along with other professional tips.

Q. Is there any way to make tempura crispy? Yes. You can pour a little oil (like vegetable oil) when preparing the tempura batter. Just a few drops can keep the tempura crispy, even after cooling down! Q. What should I do with old fish? To reduce the fishy smell, boil water in a deep pan and add either 1/2 teaspoon of salt, or squeeze half of a lemon (add the lemon skin also). Put the fish in boiling water and take it out immediately and rinse it with cold water for just a second. After this process, cook it in the normal way. Q. How should I grill miso-marinated or kasu-marinated fish in the oven? Before you cook, don't wash the marinated fish! Grill it at high heat, but not close to the fish. Put an empty plate into the oven and set the oven to broil at 500°F. Place the fish either on the middle rack or the lower rack. Grill the fish skin side down first for 2 to 3 minutes, then turn it over and grill it for another a few minutes. In this way, the fish can absorb the flavor from the skin side. (The cooking time depends on the temperature of fish and oven, and the thickness of the fish.) Q. How long will vinegar-marinated fish last? (like salmon or mackerel) Since AT FISH vinegar-marinated fish is always marinated while it is still fresh, it will last for a week in a refrigerator. Please keep the fish in a Ziploc bag with as little air in the bag as possible so the surface of the fish won't get dry. (You can also freeze it.) Q. I tried the recipe for Alaskan Halibut (miso) sautéed with butter and was really delicious. Can you sauté any other miso/kasu flavored fish with butter? Yes. You can sauté miso-flavored whitefish, such as sea bass and black cod (or salmon). However, kasu-flavored fish and butter don't go together well. Melt butter in a frying pan and sauté the miso-flavored fillet for 1-1.5 minutes. then turn it over and cook for 1 minute. You may also put a little red pepper on the fillet for some spiciness. As a side dish, you may sauté mushrooms, onions, and zucchini with butter.
