Trails to Tsukiji: 4x7

Scallop

Among all of Japan’s consumable exports, the food that holds the highest value is the focus of today’s episode: scallops. We visit chilly Hokkaido to learn about scallop aquaculture, which has sparked a revolution in production volume, and discover some unique dishes only available where scallops are farmed. We also check out a surprising use for scallop shells, and meet a chef who uses only the finest scallops in his high-end Chinese cuisine.
