Food For Thought - Fraser Valley Part Three - Salmon and Wasabi

                                       

Crayfish and Wasabi...oh yeah, and coho salmon.  This week on Food For Thought, a visit to a land-based salmon farm where waste water is used to raise crayfish and irrigate wasabi, Japanese horseradish.

The wasabi root is grated or macerated to produce a greenish paste, that has much more flavour than you get from that toothpaste style-stuff you get at most Japanese restaurants, which is made up of regular horseradish powder, not wasabi.  Bruce Swift, of Swift Aquaculture, irrigates his wasabi and his watercress with waste water from his coho salmon tanks.

Bruce is part of the Agassiz Circle Farm tour.  Check it out!  To listen to my documentary in streaming RealAudio, click here.
