Fried Horse Mackerel in Sweet Vinegar Sauce

This time, I bought Small Horse Mackerels. They costed only 138 JPY (approx. 1 USD)
I wouldn’t show you the most cruel process of the cooking. Opened Horse Mackerels were wrapped with Potato Starch.
They were fried in Iron Skillet; I don’t like to use Teflon Skillet. Price hike does affect cooking oil also in Japan. So I tried using less oil as possible.
It took more than 10 minutes to make them fried well.
Sweet Vinegar with Soy Sauce was poured onto Them. Then They were kept in Refrigerator for several hours so that the Sauce could go into the Fries. By doing so, vinegar would make fish bones soft.
There you go.

Thank you for taking a look at this post until the end. Good day,

Fried Horse Mackerel for my Supper Tonight

A Horse Mackerel that I bought from nearby supermarket today. It was 398 JPY
Slices of Horse Mackerel are coated with mixture of wheat and egg.
So this is the main dish of today’s my supper. The white things are Tofu.

It took more than one and a half hour for me to cook tonight’s supper.

Thick and Strong Bones in Sea Bream

A small size sea bream; I bought this one in a supermarket by 498JPY.
I wrapped the fish in aluminum foil, and baked by gas

Actually, it was a little stinky with fish smell. I should have poured some olive oil before wrapping it. I regretted not doing so.

Sunday Afternoon Walk to a Small Shito Shrine by a River Bank

A River; It’s rare fine day amid rainy season, so the mountain top is covered with cloud
A Small Shinto Shrine near my House, in Northern JAPAN
The Same Shrine from different angle towards the river bank
Two boards are put on the wall of a barn in the Shrine Area

The left board says that droppings from a dog shall be disposed properly by the dog’s owner.

The right board says that, when you play in this shrine area, do not break anything, do not make anything dirty, and put in your mind that we all have to keep the shrine clean.

But I can tell you that there is no longer any single kid playing in the shrine area. There are no kids around there because Japan’s society has already aged very much.
