It’s tasty, a little salty so must have with rice. Be careful, there are bones! Easy to prepare in oven.
Nguyen1979
This miso-marinated Gindara (Japanese black cod) was absolutely delicious. The fish was rich, buttery, and incredibly tender, with a flaky texture that practically melted in my mouth. The sweet miso marinade had a wonderful balance of savory and sweet flavors and caramelized beautifully when cooked. It was easy to prepare and tasted like something you would order at a Japanese restaurant. I served it with steamed rice and vegetables, and it made a simple yet satisfying meal. I would definitely buy it again. My portion had a few small bones, so it's worth eating with a little extra care. Other than that, the flavor and quality were excellent.
