Food, Fishing and the Faroes

Dan Saladino tells a story of food, survival and fishing from the remote Faroe Islands. Fishing provides 90 per cent of GDP and is shaping relations with the outside world.

Dan Saladino reports on food, survival and fishing from the Faroe Islands. From fermented sheep's head to whale blubber he finds out how people eat on the remote archipelago. For many generations many of these traditonal foods were only eaten in family homes, often having associations with poverty and difficult times.

Things are changing however and dishes from the past are now helping to drive a restaurant
boom.
