Lemon pickled bonito (skipjack tuna)

Bonito is a blue fish, similar to mackerel but larger and actually this escabeche recipe works not only with blue fish (mackerel, fresh tuna, even salmon) but also with white meats (chicken or rabbit). Super easy to make, it's a great way of preserving fish or meat with a tasty brine.
