A Day in a Japanese Fishing Village

Japan is well known for its high-quality fish, but most of us only encounter it in the grocery store or served in a restaurant. Today, Shizuka is going right to the source and visiting the Japanese port town of Katsuura, to see how they bring in high-quality katsuo, aka bonito fish every day.

Of course, no trip on byFood is complete without tasting the local cuisine! Shizuka visits three restaurants to sample the fish caught in the morning. Chopped, fried, served raw or boiled, this top-quality fish is not to be missed! From the sea and onto the table, this Japanese fishing village in Chiba prefecture is a great example of the pride and dedication that goes into this staple of Japanese cuisine.

FEATURED FOODS:
Japanese spiny lobster risotto
Namerou: Finely chopped raw fish
Katsuo aburi: Slices of raw bonito that have been slightly seared

I like the traditional method of fishing, not only to preserve the fish quality but keeps other species out of nets.

my daughter from about 5 years old knew how to dissect all manner of seafood, every last morsel of it! seafood is expensive unless u gather it urself but even so should never waste any part of it, its all yum!

Fishing by hand (line caught) is much more sustainable as well! Glad to hear that they use those traditional methods!
