The story
Leave the harbour as the sky goes from grey to gold, on a registered fishing boat we know well, and fish for sea bream with Fuji small and white along the coast behind you. Back on land, a licensed fishmonger or restaurant cuts your catch (they charge you directly), or carry it home and cook it yourselves in the island kitchen. The house never cooks or sells meals. It's the freshest fish you will eat in Japan, and you caught it.
We arrange a place, or a whole boat, with a registered fishing-boat operator we trust; the season decides the harbour and what's biting. You're back by late morning, and you can cook your catch yourselves in the island kitchen. The boat sets the fare and charges you directly.
