Greetings, look where I am tonight!
This is Ravi Fish and I walked past here.
I'm in Nankana Sahib.
It's a tiny little town of like 80,000
people here in Pakistan.
And it's most famous for the different Gurudwaras they have here.
All are dedicated to Guru Nanak Dev Ji's life.
And I just walked past this store on the road here
and I just thought, "This fish looks so good."
Let's go inside, and let's see what grilled fish tastes
like here in Pakistan, and what it's all about.
Because I never eat fish, but come, let's go try.
And I hope this will make you feel more confident just about going into random stores ==
on the street and just enjoying a meal.
And they make the fish quite special here.
I've never seen it quite cooked like this.
Maybe this is normal, but I've never seen it before.
So, first, it's covered in spices then it's grilled.
Then it comes off the grill and they put one more
lot of kind of spice on top as well.
Chilli, garam masala, and a few other special spices.
And these guys are right now putting vegetables on top of it.
We've got capsicum, tomato, and onion.
And then they're gonna grill it again with the vegetables on. And then it's ready to eat so it.
It takes like 20 to 30 minutes.
And I've been walking around the streets here in Nankana and just seen
such fresh fish so I thought, "Yeah, I have to try this fish."
This is where things got weird.
I was busy chatting with the fish shop owner, when a man in plain clothes
approached me and started questioning me.
Then he just leaves, and i'm just thinking,
"Okay, it's just someone from the intelligence
bureau who's surprised to see a foreigner."
But very soon you're gonna see that
that officer made a phone call.
So keep a watch over my shoulder in these coming shots.
Alright, so, the food's coming and I'm pretty sure you might be wondering what happened to my
head here.
I was in a rickshaw in Lahore and
I told the guy to stop.
And I bent forward to tell him that,
and as I told him that he slammed on the brakes
and I went
forward
and he had a mirror,
like a rearview mirror up in the back for passengers, I guess
to check makeup.
And so went...
And so I just cracked my head into the mirror and the mirror smashed.
And I remember seeing shards of glass falling down,
and then I saw blood and it was just
blood like running out of my face.
I saw a pharmacy, so I went to the pharmacy I got bandaged up.
Yeah, so, this is why I'm wearing this now until it heals.
Just to keep the wound clean.
So that's that story.
It was a bad day.
But it got better once I got Nankana.
Wow.
Now, feast your eyes on this!
It's epic.
It's freaking epic!
And with that, we have
chutney
and raita as well
and naan is coming.
Let's see how this fish tastes.
Oh, man!
Look at that.
They've grilled it to perfection.
There's bones, okay. So be careful.
I swallowed one of these once in Bangladesh
and I had to go to a hospital.
Be very careful of bones, they don't pull them out in India or Pakistan.
There's tons of chilli.
It's really warm and
tons of lemon.
Like, chilli and lemon flavour, that's how I'd describe it.
Now I'm sure a lot of foreigners will be wondering,
"Is it safe to eat food at a place like this?"
Well if the food comes to you piping hot, there's no problem.
All the bad things have been killed.
If it's coming to you cold, or it's a salad covered in
water, you don't know where that waters
come from.
Might have just come from the tap and the tap water is not safe for us to drink.
But if it comes to piping hot, like tea for example,
then it's safe to drink.
The heat kills all the bad things.
So that's why I don't worry about eating at places like this.
As long as I can see the food being cooked,
and how it's cooked, and that it's clean enough,
I'm fine.
After I finished my fish,
I said I'm gonna walk back to the hotel room on my own
and he's like, "Nah, I'll take you for
a ride around the city and I'll drop you home.
And you know I couldn't really say no.
So before getting in his car I checked his ID.
Just to confirm that he is from the Punjab Police.
Ahhhh, okay.
Man.
I'm back in my hotel room now.
I was filming the guys making fish and someone
comes up to me and he's like,
"Who are you?"
"Where are you staying, and where's your security?"
And I'm like, "Who are you?"
You don't know who the person is asking you these questions and
he wasn't wearing a uniform or anything.
So, I told the guy where I was staying and all
and I sat down to eat fish like 10 minutes later
and the cop shows up and sits next to me and you
know what happened from there.
That guy called the Police
and told them to give me an escort back
to the hotel for whatever reason, I don't know what.
And, so, yeah, back now after eating fish.
I wanted to keep walking around
and get some sweets and that type of stuff.
But, yeah.
So that was all very frustrating for me because as a traveller
I like to roam free
and stay as far away as possible from the
Police, Army, Government Officials, and Politicians.
That's a good rule for life in India and Pakistan.
But as you heard, the Police Officer was very sweet,
very kind, so I'm not angry.
But where I am from,
if the Police approach you,
it means you're in trouble.
It's not a good thing.
It's also embarrassing to be seen with Police.
So if you're a foreigner travelling to Pakistan,
