Fish Katsu
When you bite through the crispy coating, the aroma of curry spices gently wafts from the fluffy fish paste. With a subtle hint of spiciness, it is perfect as both a snack and a side dish. In Tokushima, when people say 'Katsu,' they are referring to this Fish Katsu. It originated around 1955 in Komatsushima City, an area known for its fishing and kamaboko (fish cake) production. It is said to have been invented by Tsukuji Kamaboko, a local fish cake shop. The dish was born from the idea of adding a unique twist to traditional surimi by mixing curry powder and chili pepper into fish paste caught in nearby waters, then coating it with breadcrumbs and frying it. Today, it is an indispensable presence in supermarkets and deli sections throughout the prefecture. Please enjoy the taste of Tokushima either as is or lightly toasted.
