Trout
The production of trout (Karafuto trout) in
Okhotsk occupies more than 70% in Hokkaido. It is caught in
the cities and towns that lie on the coast. Three fishery
cooperatives, Abashiri, Shari and Utoro (part of Shari town),
coined it Okhotsk Salmon. It is also called Aomasu (blue trout),
as its back is dark blue or blue-green. The male trout is
called Seppari (se = back, pari = swell) because the anterior
dorsal fin swells during the breeding season. At the earliest,
trout can be found around the Abashiri seaboard in early May.
The fishing season is between the middle of July and the beginning
of September, and the peak season is the end of August. This
meat, which is salmon pink, is beautiful and not as fatty
as salmon. So, it is delicious when you fry or cook (meuniere)
(sauteed with butter). Most Karafuto trout is processed as
canned salmon. However, in Okhotsk, processed products of
Karafuto trout are commercialized by various companies.

(Kenai Deguchi suisan)...Yubetsu town |
| Pirikara masu konami chinbo (toba: the skin on trout
fillets, thinly sliced lengthwise, rinsed in sea water
and dried in a salt breeze) 500g 1,800yen |
| This delicacy is called Toba, which is processed trout
from the sea of Okhotsk. It oxidizes easily, which differs
from salmon. Because of this, it was very difficult to
make, yet succeeded due to an original method. Finish
with soaking into a spicy sauce. You will be hooked by
its moderate crunchy texture and refreshing savor. Be
sure to note that there can sometimes be a supply shortage
due to the short trout season. |
