元築地市場セリ人で現在TSUKIJI FISH MARKET Inc.代表の疋田拓也氏が魚について熱く語る“Edomae in Spring”が3月13日に日本カナダ商工会議所・JETAABC（ジェットプログラムOB会BC州ユーコン準州支部）の共催で行われました。
食に熱心な２０名ほどの方の参加を得て、築地のセリ人の日常や魚の選び方、美味しく提供するための血抜きの技術などが紹介され、目の前でプロの手で炙られ切り分けられたしめ鯖と穴子の試食会で盛会となりました。また、後日抽選で和歌山県産の刺身醤油が当選者に届けられました。
The JCCOC-JETAABC* co-hosting event, “Edomae in Spring”, was held successfully on March 13th welcoming enthusiastic and hungry 20 guests. Having peeked a daily life of a fish auctioneer at the prestigious Tsukiji market, participants learned what decides the Edomae quality of fish.
The most interactive part of the event was the tasting of slices of shime-saba (mackerel marinated in vinegar) and anago (conger eel marinated and cooked in a sweet soy sauce) with the presenter’s preparation tips performed right in front of gourmets in Vancouver. After the event, a bottle of sashimi shoyu from Wakayama Prefecture was sent to a winner as a door prize.
*JETAABC is the British Columbia / Yukon chapter of JETAA-International, the alumni association for participants of the Japan Exchange and Teaching Programme.
