The season for Spanish mackerel on Awaji Island is from spring to fall. Spring Spanish mackerel is very special when eaten with mako (roe) and shirako (milt). Spanish mackerel in autumn is called "Kan Spanish mackerel," and its fatty flesh, which is as good as toro (fatty tuna) in preparation for winter, is a treat for gourmets.

The "chahan (rice cooked with fresh island Spanish mackerel)," which used to be made by tossing fresh Spanish mackerel in soy sauce and eating it with hot rice and white water in a bowl of ochazuke (rice with tea), has evolved so that you can enjoy three different flavors: tataki, raw, and vinegared Spanish mackerel. It is a luxurious local dish made possible only with fresh Spanish mackerel.
