Trails to Tsukiji: 3x13

Sardine

Think of the word “sardine”, and your first association is likely an unappetizing can of preserved fish. But in Japan, the sardine is eaten fresh and used in a variety of delicious sashimi and sushi dishes. In this episode of Trails to Tsukiji, we’ll discover how the sardine is enjoyed in both local fishing towns and upscale Japanese restaurants. Plus, we’ll hop on a ship and take a first-hand look at the dynamic process of sardine fishing.
