Mix the cornmeal with a little black pepper and coat both sides of the fish.
- 3
Heat the oil in a wide pan and arrange the bonito pieces with space between them.

Fry the first side for 6 minutes; do not shorten the time, so the thick slices do not stay raw inside.

💡 Tip: Shaking off excess cornmeal before the fish goes into the pan helps the surface brown without burning.
