    2025/07/14

    This week's episode is a bit fishy! Dylan is joined by Emily De Sousa is born in Canada but has deep Portuguese roots and her Portuguese has only got stronger as she’s got older. She’s a fisheries scientist, a foody and a lover of seafood and with her work as a seafood educator on the popular social media platform ‘Seaside with Emily’ it was only natural that her work would keep bringing her back to her Portuguese roots. Emily chats to Dylan about what she learned about Portugal growing up, what she continues to learn and love about Portugal, including, wine, Portuguese hospitality and of course, seafood.
