Steamed Bonito With Vegetables Recipe
Bonito fishing starts in August in the Black and Marmara seas. First, flocks of acorns and gypsy acorns arrive in the Black Sea, and from September onwards, acorns begin to arrive. The most delicious time is September and October. However, since it gets oily during this period, it is recommended to cook it on the grill or in the oven, not in a pan. Steamed in the oven with plenty of vegetables, it is very healthy and light. Enjoy your meal!
