Fukui
Nukaduke (pickles) made with mackerels, a tasty side dish for rice
Sabano Heshiko
Heshiko is a traditional nukazuke (pickled in nuka) from Wakasa area made with fish. When the mackerels are in season in spring, eat them in the late autumn. Since many people in this area think a meal will not finish without eating fish, grilled heshiko has become a staple dish in winter when fish is out of season. The smell of grilled nuka gives appetite. In Tajima and Yashiro area, when there is a big catch of fish, female divers bring the fish on 2-wheel-cart and pickle them.
