Procedure
1) Clean the fish and slit it open.** Halve the mozzarella balls and slice them to a thickness of 8mm.
2a) For the sauce, cut up the tomatoes and onions, and blend all of the sauce ingredients together.
2b) Beat the eggs***
3) Stuff the mozzarella, the salt and white pepper inside the fish, where you made the opening. After which, mix the weak flour, the beaten eggs and the breadcrumbs together. One by one, dip the four fishes in this mixture, making sure you completely coat each fish.
4) Pour the vegetable oil into the frying pan to a depth of 1cm, and heat it to 160°C, before adding the horse mackerel to the pan. Shallow fry for about 5 minutes, flipping the fish once in between. Take the fish out and place in a net lined with paper to drain the oil.
5) Thinly slice the purple onions. Serve one fish with the onion and basil garnish, with a helping of sauce on the side.

* Weak flour is flour with low gluten content
** You’ll want to make sure you don’t fully slice the fish in two, since you’ll be stuffing it with mozzarella and it would be troublesome if it fell out while frying. Think of the fish like a baguette sandwich if it helps, and leave it with a spine that bends.
*** It seems the Japanese are a fan of telling you that your egg has to be beaten just when you need to use it.
