    Rob Long is a writer and producer living in Hollywood. He recently spent three weeks on the Hanjin Miami, a container ship sailing from Seattle to Asia. Rob was surprised by the lack of fresh fish aboard the ship. Instead, he and the German officers ate roast pork prepared by the mostly Filipino crew.

    Martini Shot, airs Wednesdays at 6:44 on KCRW.
