Komatsushima Fish Katsu

Komatsushima City is known as the birthplace of 'Fish Katsu.' It is said to have been invented by the local Tsukuji Kamaboko around 1955, and today it is loved by residents as a Tokushima soul food produced by many kamaboko (fish cake) shops within the prefecture. This dish features fish paste seasoned with a spicy kick of curry powder and chili pepper, coated in breadcrumbs and deep-fried. Despite being a processed fish product, its charm lies in its savory, cutlet-like texture and addictive spiciness, making it a flavor that everyone from children to adults can't help but reach for. It is delicious whether eaten as is or sandwiched in rice or bread, and it is a staple side dish found in local supermarkets. The authentic taste of freshly fried Fish Katsu is a Tokushima specialty that you must experience when visiting Komatsushima.
