Shime-Aji Vinegar-Cured Striped Jack Mackerel (7oz / 200g)

Striped Jack Mackerel · Shime-Aji · Vinegar-Cured · 7oz / 200g

Shime-Aji Striped Jack Mackerel,
a rarer, richer step up from shime-saba.

Shime-Aji is made from striped jack mackerel (줄무늬 전갱이), a premium, harder-to-source fish species that sits a clear step above the more familiar shime-saba. Fully vinegar-cured and ready to enjoy, it delivers a richer, more delicate flavor and firmer texture — sliced straight from the loin for sashimi, nigiri, or pressed bo-zushi.

Why You'll Love It

• ✦ Premium, Rare Catch, striped jack mackerel (시마아지) is a prized, high-grade fish species that's far harder to source than standard mackerel
• ✦ Already Vinegar-Cured, the shime process is fully done, just thaw and slice, no prep needed
• ✦ A Step Above Shime-Saba, richer flavor and a firmer, more delicate texture than classic vinegar-cured mackerel
• ✦ Versatile Cut, works beautifully as sashimi, nigiri, or pressed into bo-zushi (봉초밥)
• ✦ Generous 7oz (200g) portion, enough for a proper sashimi course

Ways to Enjoy

• ✦ Sashimi platter, slice and serve as-is, the cure does the seasoning work for you
• ✦ Nigiri, pressed over sushi rice for an elegant home omakase bite
• ✦ Bo-zushi (Pressed Sushi), layer over rice and press into stick-shaped sushi for a refined presentation
• ✦ Pairs beautifully with a chilled sake or a crisp dry white wine
