  • About

The classic Japanese presentation makes use of whole small flatfish called ko karei. The closest thing we have to them in America are the sand dabs caught off both east and west coasts. Sports fishermen often bring in these tasty tiny flatfish, and if you’ve caught some, this is the perfect way to enjoy them. Halibut steaks make a good substitute.
