TSUSHIMA, Nagasaki -- Kei Zenimoto works as a single-line fisher in Tsushima, an island city in Nagasaki Prefecture located between Kyushu and South Korea. After a great haul of fish one day last December, he used his smartphone to show what he had caught to a chef at a French restaurant in Tokyo, about 1,000 kilometers away.
"Today, I caught some nice hiramasa [yellowtail amberjack] weighing 5.7 kilograms, which is fairly good," he said to the chef. "I also caught some chikame-kintoki [longfin bulleye] that look like they ate well."
