▶1. Fish Planet60m · Even at this moment, many people make a living by fishing in the tropical sea, barren desert, and frozen river. From “Mattanza” or the Mediterranean Sea which has continued for 3,000 years, through central Africa’s harpoon hunting, to cormorant fishing which uses the instincts of heterogenetic animals, we will give you dynamic and vibrant images of these various fishing methods.▶2. The Great Taste of Fish60m · There is hardly anything that rots more quickly than fish. Since the ancient times, fish has provided marvelous flavor to humans in various forms, such as raw, salted, dried, smoked, and fermented. We will look at human’s desire to consume fish for longer and the great history of fish this desire has created.▶3. Mystery of Rotten Fish60m · The modern-day sushi orginated from the upper stream area of the Mekong River, where people used to over-ferment or ‘rot’ the fish. Sushi has become a worldwide fast-food and its developing history is somewhat similar to the spread of East Asia’s rice farming. We will solve the mystery surrounding East Asia’s rice and fish culture.▶4. Fish on Friday60m · The Catholic tradition of fasting which began in the 7th century brought about an innovative change in the Western culture.
