🐟 Tachiuo (beltfish) roll

Tachiuo (=beltfish) is a saltwater fish of the cutlassfish family and its total length exceeds 2 meters (about 80 inches) in the largest fish. It is a tasty fish with little fishiness and fat, so even children who do not like fish can enjoy eating it. It is said that a long-established fishmonger in Uwajima City, which has been in business for 150 years, invented the tachiuo roll in 1987, in which the tachiuo is wrapped around a bamboo skewer. It has been introduced in many media and is now one of the most popular specialties of tourists visiting Uwajima. In addition to being delicious, Tachiuo (=beltfish) is also full of nutrients. Oleic acid, a component found in large amounts, plays a role in preventing oxidation in the body, and DHA, contained in the fat, helps reduce neutral fat and bad cholesterol. The abundant vitamins A, D, and E do not easily leach out when cooked, so even when grilled, the fish is delicious without losing any of its nutritional value.
