Bought Fish Online (2007-09-30)

At 1005 am the fish we ordered directly from Awajishima harbor arrived.  We ordered the "B Course" which included a leather jacket, two wild Japanese sea bream and 2kg of organic new onions.  There's no guarantee on the size of the fish, it all depends on what's in the fishermen's catch the day before; what can be guaranteed is that our fish will be much fresher than what's sold in our local supermarket. 

The leather jacket is bigger than usual and that alone would've cost two third of what we paid for the whole package.  Leather jackets and wild breams are expensive fish here in Tokyo, I believe we got a very good deal.

To fully enjoy the delicate flavor of the bream, I steamed it Hong Kong style with scallions and ginger; as for the firm, almost crab meat-like flesh of the leather jacket, I panfried it with a good sprinkling of Cajun spices.  Both fish was hugely delicious.  We could taste the freshness and sweetness in their meat, a quality supermarket fish could not compare.
