It is kind of funny to watch all these media outlets announce a world-wide twitter outage.... on twitter - after its over.

Life is strange

Oh, woe is them. How are the Tories going to run their leadership campaign with Twitter down?

Wednesdays are my favourite day because I get together on Zoom with smarter people than me for a close reading of Lacan's "The Object Relation". #LacaniansofCoSo

Good morning lovely people

Here, where I live in Spain, mackerel is crazy cheap, but the supply is erratic. So the freezing part actually works in my favor.

Shime saba can be served the way I love it, as sashimi, or as nigiri. Making sushi rice is too much faffing around for me.
However, it's very good for you. Lots of Omega 3 good fats.

I have noticed that wiping and drying well at each stage is super important, and wrapping individually, really well. If anyone is interested in a step-by-step this is an excellent video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOiMUIQUREQ

So this is the first time I've ever tried to make this type of sashimi. It's not difficult, but it takes time.

You cannot use fresh mackerel for shime saba because mackerel are prone to parasites. You have to fillet and then freeze it, at -20C for more than 5 days.

Almost at the end of my shime sana journey! Mackerel fillets after salting and vinegar bath. Just 24 hours in the fridge now. I can hardly wait!
