Americans probably consider mackerel a low class fish but saba shioyaki is a dish that I always ordered when we lived in California. I thought it was just sublime. The fish is slashed and salt is sprinkled on it and left on for a few minutes. Just wipe it off the salt and broil or pan fry. The best way would be to grill it over a charcoal fire. I suppose that being able to eat this fish with chopsticks would be helpful.
