Oisix, a food subscription service operated by Oisix ra daichi Inc., conducted a survey on underutilized fish in conjunction with World Oceans Day on June 8th. The survey revealed that while there is high interest in consuming underutilized fish, concerns such as 'not knowing how to cook them' act as a barrier to adoption.
Oisix has been working on developing products that make it easy to incorporate underutilized fish into daily meals. Starting June 4, 2026, the company will launch the 'Fish Kebab Sandwich Set' using 'Marusouda' (frigate tuna). This product will also be available at the 'Amehare Shokudo' cafeteria in Gate City Osaki from June 1st to June 12th, 2026.
(Summary of survey results: While awareness of the term 'underutilized fish' is low, 80% of those who haven't tried it are willing to do so. The primary reason for interest is food waste reduction, while the primary barrier is the lack of cooking knowledge.)
Developed in collaboration with the Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology student circle 'igoan', the product aims to make underutilized fish delicious and accessible.
