How to Obtain
Pacific Saury can be obtained from several maps during the event. They drop more frequently than the Hishimochi, but will require appropriate equipment to do so.
Fish can only be found in certain sortie maps locations; when your fleet go to certain nodes and enters battle, the music "Saury Festival at the Naval Office" cues in: Play. These locations are known to be have lots of Pacific Saury. Do note that some areas you can catch the Pacific Saury in some location where the music doesn't play as well.
Within the fishing zones, your fleet must battle the abyssal fleet and score an S rank (or an A rank in World 3). Upon completion, you will have a chance for saury to drop. After the battle, you might receive a notification that you have fished some saury and will then receive it prior to any ship drops.
The Pacific saury cannot be used for anything by itself; you must collect several of them in order to "cook" them to make them into resources or a new seasonal item.
In order to raise your chance of obtaining Pacific saury, you will need to use specific equipment (note that multiple pieces synergize). There is currently no official known way, though many people speculate the use of 
Sonars, 
Star Shells, 
Skilled Lookouts and 
Searchlights are needed to catch fish. 
Drum canisters are also suggested to be useful.
You can hold up to a maximum of 99 Raw Pacific Saury at a time without cooking them.
"Overfishing" at certain maps or nodes can result in reduced fish drop rates.

Cooking Pacific Saury
When you have obtained enough Pacific Saury, you can use a specific amount to cook up a saury-based meal and then trade it in for resources.
When you reach the item menu section you can choose between the following methods of cooking the Pacific Saury.
The option you are given for preparing the raw Saury in the given order are Sashimi, Grilled and Salted or Kabayaki
Once you have selected the option, you are provided with the following information regarding what you can receive from cooking the Saury.
