Asia's Appetizing Adventures - Taiwan Part 2: Orchid Island's Traditions for Catching Flying Fish

Culinary specialist Kentetsu Koh travels across Asia in search of great home cooking and person-to-person encounters. In this episode, Kentetsu goes to Taiwan's Orchid Island, known for its coral reefs. There, he tries the native Tao people's tradition of fishing for flying fish. For the Tao people, the flying fish is sacred. So, they follow strict rules on how to prepare and eat it. Nothing goes to waste. Dried flying fish is first used to make soup. Then, what's left is cooked with fried rice. Kentetsu tastes the dishes with respect and gratitude.
