Abergavenny Unfiltered: Dried fish and natural wine with Owen Morgan and Kate Hawkings.

Do you know your mojama from your capellans? Spain has an amazing array of dried fish products - many unknown to a British audience.
These salty treats are an ideal companion to the earthy flavours of natural wines, and who better to discuss pairings than celebrated chef of Spanish food Owen Morgan and wine writer Kate Hawkings?
