Inside Barbados’ $5.8 Billion Seafood Industry — How Fishermen Catch 10,000 Flying Fish in 48 Hours

This fishing documentary takes you across the Caribbean and Pacific to explore how fishermen catch flying fish, swordfish, and massive schools of sardines. In Barbados, crews use floating vegetation and surface gillnets to target flying fish, while fishermen in Japan use powerful lights to bring them close to the boat at night. The journey then moves offshore, where swordfish are caught with longlines, heavy rods, and harpoons before entering the cold chain and processing facilities. In the Gulf of California, fishermen use sonar and massive purse seines to surround schools of sardines before sending them to factories for canning, fishmeal, and fish oil. This fishing documentary reveals the different techniques, risks, and skills behind commercial fishing, from the open ocean to the processing plant and global seafood market. ------------ Thanks for watching.
