Season 4: Episode 5

Cod: this fish is eaten around the world, where it's commonly used in fish and chips or salted. In Japan, where it's called tara, cod is an essential ingredient in winter hot pot dishes. In fact, cod is in season in winter, when it's about to spawn. This time, we visit cod fishing areas and try some unique cod-based cuisine, and drop by a restaurant that uses cod's rich umami in Italian recipes.
