What is Kabayaki?
Kabayaki is a traditional Japanese cooking style where fish is butterflied, grilled, and brushed with a sweet-savory sauce made from soy sauce, mirin.
The result is a glossy glaze and deep umami flavor that has made unagi kabayaki one of the most beloved dishes in Japanese cuisine.
In East Asia, unagi holds especially strong cultural significance and is traditionally eaten for national holidays and celebratory occasions.
Our Unagi-Style Fillets are inspired by this preparation, bringing the signature flavor and texture of kabayaki into a convenient, ready-to-enjoy format.
Why Surimi?
Surimi is a traditional seafood craft that transforms Wild Alaska Pollock into a versatile ingredient enjoyed around the world. By using responsibly managed wild pollock fisheries, surimi allows us to create consistent texture and flavor while maintaining reliable quality and supply.
It also offers a thoughtful alternative to traditional eel. While eel aquaculture exists, many eel species have experienced significant population pressure over time. Creating an unagi-style product from pollock-based surimi helps make this beloved dining experience consistently available and affordable while supporting responsible seafood choices.
