Niigata Seafood Markets. Hidden Shops, Stalls & Street Fish Markets in Japan

Niigata Seafood Markets Japan Hidden away in hard to find areas in Niigata City Japan are little alcoves of Niigata seafood markets and vendors selling a variety of rare and exotic seafood. I was amazed by the variety, the low cost and the easiness of being able to buy and eat just about anything available. There is a public seafood market that can’t be seen until you actually go through the sliding doors of an innocuous looking shopping mall entrance… and more hard to find doors leading to retailers who can not only sell you things you’ve never seen before,…

You could even buy individual oysters, eat one, then be offered a…

Tsukiji Fish Markets, Tokyo, Japan. Nearby Restaurant Serving Sushi, Sashimi, Sea Urchin, Kamenote and more.

Awesome breakfast this morning. The Tsukiji Tokyo Fish Markets were closed (they sometimes close randomly on a Wednesday, even if the website guarantees they’re open!) so we headed to a great sushi place nearby where we tried some amazing seafood, including sushi such as sea urchin, tuna, snapper, squid, octopus and others, as well as hot and juicy rock worms which have an outer shell that looks a bit like turtle hands (kamenote – you can find them on the rocks at various beaches around the world). We also enjoyed a bowl of chirashi ( a bowl of various sashimi)…
