※ This video is part of <Human and Sea - Blessing of the Mediterranean! Tunisia> broadcast on February 15, 2023. Tunisia, the blue jewel on the Mediterranean coast of North Africa! It is a country where the famous Roman general Hannibal was active, and it is also home to Sidi Bou Said, one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Tunisia, where artists who admire beautiful beaches gathered and lived, was once the granary of the Roman Empire and is also famous as a world-class olive cultivation area. In particular, in coastal areas where warm currents flow, there are red corals, and various fish species that use them as their home, so coastal fishing has developed actively. Tunisia, where everything is mild and abundant, is also called the land of fertile spring. Among them, Jerba Island, a representative fishing village in Tunisia, is a place with beautiful climate and was called 'the island where people who do not know worry' in Greek mythology. The fishermen here catch good quality octopuses to export or eat domestically. To catch these octopuses, there is a fisherman who goes out to the sea with small jars. He uses the traditional method of throwing the jars into the sea, taking advantage of the octopus’s habit of burrowing into dark places. However, his face is gloomy today. The fisherman, who is flustered by the worse fishing conditions than he thought, throws the jars into the sea again because he needs to catch a lot more octopuses to make a living. Will the sea be able to put a gift in his jar today? Meanwhile, one of the things caught a lot in the Tunisian sea these days is the crab! While it is popular in Korea, it is said that it is called a ‘sea terrorist’ here. The reason is that a few years ago, it suddenly appeared in the Mediterranean Sea and not only destroyed the nets of Tunisian fishermen, but also ate all the fish it could find. Because of this, Tunisian fishermen even staged a protest asking the government to get rid of the crabs. The fishermen, who were worried and anxious because of the crabs they had never seen before and that they didn’t eat well, had a reversal. They found out that crabs are popular in Asia, including Korea! Since then, crabs have literally taken the path of a reversal in their fishing business. A new export wind blew through the Tunisian sea, and crabs emerged as a source of income for fishermen. In order to catch these crabs, the Sfax port in eastern Tunisia is bustling with people organizing their nets from dawn. Ship owners and crews go out to catch crabs. Fishermen who have made their living in this sea for generations catch crabs and other species of fish. A crew member who has been on a boat for three months to become a fisherman also looks down at his net with a trembling heart… After some time, he looks back up again. What he catches is not the welcome crabs, but only squid. During the hungry time from fishing, we fill our stomachs by making and eating Shakshuka, a soup dish made with harissa sauce, which can be called Tunisian chili paste, and ingredients from the cuttlefish we caught. Before the next day of planting, we go out to fish... Will the fishermen be able to catch crabs? We meet the story of Tunisian fishermen who open the blue sea route and find happiness. ✔ Program name: Humans and the Sea - Blessing of the Mediterranean!
