Wild Flounder from Hidaka
Caught in the bountiful fishing grounds of the Kii Channel, with firm texture—in Hidaka Town, you can enjoy wild flounder caught along the coast. The Kii Channel is known as a rich fishing ground with abundant tidal currents. Wild flounder raised there boast firm flesh and an elegant flavor. Hidaka is a treasure trove of seafood, also known for its longtooth grouper (kue), and flounder has long been cherished locally as a seasonal blessing. Those caught during the cold season, when the flesh is particularly firm, are especially exceptional. Whether enjoyed as sashimi with a crisp texture or simmered to perfection, both are exquisite. The fatty gill area (engawa) in particular is a true delicacy. This white-fleshed fish, while light, possesses a deep umami that will keep you reaching for more.
