For many Korean families, seafood is more than food; it is tradition, memory and a connection to the ocean. Inspired by the dishes she grew up with, marine biologist and filmmaker Sonya Lee joins journalist Hannah Sung on a journey to explore how culture, cuisine, and conservation go hand-in-hand.
In each episode, Sonya and Hannah follow the stories of key ingredients behind beloved Korean seafood dishes, meeting fishers, farmers, chefs and community members along the way. Together, they uncover the connections between cultural identity, coastal communities and the health of our oceans.
Trace soft tofu stew from a spot prawn boat to a Vancouver Island kitchen, discover the stories behind birthday seaweed soup, and explore how oysters and fusion cuisine shape Korean identity on the other side of the Pacific. Our Ocean Table is a celebration of food, heritage and our shared connection to the sea.
