About the event
Special seafood bowl is included!
Why does fish sometimes smell strong — and other times not at all?
In this session of Ask Takuya, we break down what people really mean by “fishy smell” and explain how it relates to freshness, handling, and time after harvest.
Takuya will walk you through what happens to fish after it’s caught, how odors develop, and why properly handled seafood can actually smell clean and mild.
This session is perfect for anyone who wants to better understand freshness, choose fish with confidence, and enjoy seafood without hesitation.
