Salmon and Saba

I was craving for salmon and I made my way to Fujisawa Kyanpu Bar, Damansara Utama.


I love salmon sashimi. Look at those thickly sliced raw salmon. Loved it!


This was what I came for, the grilled salmon head. The bones were meaty and some parts were crispy and could be eaten. I demolished the whole (half) head. The salmon head was on the smallish side.


A week later I returned. Again, salmon sashimi.


A kitchen staff who served me this dish informed me that he gave me an extra slice because the salmon fillet was small. Oh, that was very nice. I noticed that the salmon was sliced thinner.


This is the saba shioyaki (grilled mackerel) which I found to be a bit overcooked and therefore, dry.


The fish was served with a small portion of sambal and some sort of sauce (which was quite nice).


So that was my fishy cravings satisfied!

    1. High 5! I can eat two or 3 portions but that would be too expensive >.<

  2. They say for salmon if the rate they serve the salmon is fast enough, it is more likely their salmon is more fresh and hygienic as they are not left unserved for too long and will gather bacteria. There was a time when I was skeptical about eating raw salmon because of news of bacteria in them.

    1. Oh ya, that's right. I also watched videos about people who experienced worm infestation from eating raw fish! So scary.

    1. Because salmon is expensive (will be even more after announcement of 2025 Budget) the slices served are getting thinner!

  7. I also love grilled salmon fish head. As far as grilled mackerel is concerned, I find that the meat tend to be on the dry side even if it's grilled lightly (coz that's the texture of the fish, so this is one you certainly don't want to see dark grilled marks. But if it's almost burnt like yours, it'll be very dry, of course.
