Saba – Japan's Beloved Mackerel

Saba (鯖 – Mackerel) is one of Japan's most prized and versatile fish. Rich in omega-3 fatty acids and celebrated for its bold, distinctive flavour, Saba is enjoyed across Japan in many forms – grilled as saba shioyaki (salt-grilled mackerel), simmered in miso as saba no misoni, or served as fresh sushi and sashimi. A staple of Japanese home cooking, izakayas, and traditional restaurants, Saba is also one of Japan's most nutritious everyday fish. In the UK, mackerel is equally beloved – making this patch a perfect bridge between British and Japanese food culture.
