History and Origins

The dolphin fishing in Shizuoka Prefecture has centered around the Izu region. The bay off the Izu Peninsula was in the dolphin's travel path, and the peninsula was in a complicated setting, and it was suitable for the hunting of dolphins by pushing them down and catching them. We can see from the fact that dolphin bones were scattered from the ruins of the chain age and records of medieval and modern history that dolphin fishing has been done for ages. Now, in the province, the only inheritance of the dolphin fishing is in the state. However, fishing is forbidden only for farm hunting since 2019. "The Seafish's Cooking" is a traditional native dish of Izu. When dolphin meat was sold at a fresh fish store, the everyday table was served with a bowl of fish meat, or a bowl of carrots, or a bowl of chicken, and a bowl of fried, roasted, wine, oil, sugar, and taste.
