Fish caught in the Nada area, south of Awaji Island, are eaten in sushi restaurants in Tokyo. You can board a fishing boat with a veteran fisherman who makes a living from fixed net fishing. He usually landes his catch at 15 locations a day, but on this tour you will visit one of them. It is a valuable experience to learn how fixed net fishing works, the secret of the deliciousness of the fish caught here, and the hardships they endured. You can also purchase the fish caught that day. You can board a fishing boat with the fisherman and observe fixed net fishing up close. When you arrive at the fishing ground where the fixed net is set, the fisherman will pull up the net called a box net with the fish caught in it. He uses a machine halfway, but at the end he pulls up the heavy rope by hand. Normally he does this work at 15 locations a day. After a while, you can hear trivia such as how to distinguish between male and female fish and the species of fish caught that day, the secret of their deliciousness, and the hardships they endured. Apparently, some of the requests are quite unusual, coming from affiliated aquariums who say, "If you catch this fish, please let us know!" After that, the fish return to port and are lifted into the tanks at the landing area. This is hard work, but it's a cool sight to see the fishermen smoothly unloading the catch. After the experience, you can also purchase the fish that were landed that day and go home. ■Experience Schedule10:00 Meet up (This may change depending on the tides on the day.
