Notes
Choose fresh bonito fillets with a shiny surface and mild smell for the best results.
Don't over-marinate; 30 minutes is plenty to infuse flavor without overpowering the fish.
Pat the fillets dry before grilling to reduce excess moisture and enhance browning.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to two days; reheat gently in a skillet.
Consider using other seafood like mackerel or skipjack tuna if bonito is unavailable. Enjoy this dish paired with fresh salads, rice, or a squeeze of lemon for added zing!
