Hui-Nam Fishing Club Winter Campaign. Casting game in Tokyo Bay!

Even in winter, when it is too cold to go outside, anglers are still drawn to the ocean and lakes. The Finamu Fishing Club is no exception, and we are eager to enjoy this season. This time, we boarded a boat and enjoyed casting games in Tokyo Bay! Our main targets were Spanish mackerel, which is in season right now, and sea bass, which is a representative of the Edo-mae area, as well as other species of fish. We will also be targeting other species of fish, and as is our tradition, we will be enjoying the fish we catch together!

The fish we catch, we eat well!

After returning to Tokyo, we headed to Sha Re, a Japanese-style pub in Mishuku, Setagaya. The fish we brought in was specially processed and cooked for us.

We toasted to the fish we caught with our fellow Finamu Fishing Club members, Mr. Murayama, designer of "F-LAGSTUF-F," and Mr. Saisu, owner of "ARMS Clothing Store! Enjoying the delicious taste of the fish we caught is one of the best parts of ocean fishing.

First, sashimi of flathead sea bass and maggot.

Ishii: Sea fishing is a set meal. The freshness of the fish is what makes the difference. Everyone ate so fast that the food was gone before we knew it.

The sunfish was also served in kabuto-ni-ni (boiled in kabuto).

Murata: I can't handle it well by myself, and it tastes exceptionally good when cooked by a professional.

Fishing is fun and eating is very satisfying. Even in the cold winter, it makes me want to go fishing. Next time, I would like to go to a different sea with a different species of fish as my main target.
