There are a lot of strange things transported by highway in Canada. Full houses on wheels, wind turbine blades, taller than a duplex — and coming soon, along Newfoundland's Route 90: maybe the strangest load ever; decades-old fish sauce. The kind of sauce that’s used for dipping and marinating in Asian cuisines. It’s a condiment many people in Newfoundland and Labrador have never even tried. CBC’s Mary-Catherine McIntosh looks into where those loads are headed, how the sauce came to be, and why the mayor of a tiny town called St. Mary’s will be standing by, watching the trucks back away from his community likely, he says, in tears in her documentary: Fish Sauce.
