In the real world

Maruyaki saba belongs to the Wakasa coast of Fukui. A mackerel is opened along the back, kept in the shape of a whole fish, threaded head to tail on a skewer of bamboo or reed, and grilled slowly over charcoal for some twenty-five minutes. It is eaten with soy sauce, or soy sauce with ginger. The dish follows the old mackerel road that linked Wakasa with the capital, and is eaten in high summer.

Differences in game

Splitting the fish is omitted. Craft the whole saba with a bamboo skewer and soy sauce; dressing it after grilling is condensed into seasoning before grilling.
