No Going Back: New Ideas from a Tsunami-hit Fishing Town
The 2011 tsunami devastated the fishing industry in Sanriku, in northeastern Japan. Like others, seafood processor Kenichiro Yagi and local fishermen are trying to recover and rebuild their business. Using a special freezing technique, they deliver fresh local fish to distant customers year-round. They even learned how to make stingray liver, previously thought useless, appeal to a top Tokyo chef. Yagi also goes to Taiwan to tap Asian markets. We follow them as they explore the future of the local fishing industry.
