Saba, when done well, is one of my very favorites. I assume you know

Aji is whittled up fresh, and not pickled. So logically if you had a
bad aji, you can be sure you've diminished the back log by one! You
should have as good a shot as any that the next will be okay.

I don't like being in the same room with that stuff.
