If you are looking for
fresh seasonal seafood, how about coming to the Sapporo Central Wholesale Off-board Maket（札幌市中央卸売場外市場）?
There are 64 seafood stores in the market and we chose one of the
popular ones for lunch today!
"Kaisen-Shokudo Kitano Gourmet-tei （海鮮食堂 北のグルメ亭）", a seafood restaurant, is located inside of "Kitano Gourmet", a
seafood store in the market. Sounds wonderful, doesn't it?
They have a wide variety of
high-quality seafood caught mainly off Hokkaido!
Here we are!
Let's enter "Kaisen-Shokudo Kitano Gourmet-tei （海鮮食堂 北のグルメ亭）"!
It is packed with seafood lovers especially during the lunch hours!
Look at these celebrities' signatures! Yes! It is a very popular seafood restaurant!
Here is the menu!
They serve something fresh and delicious
only!
Cheers!
We first enjoyed Sapporo Classic, limited-production beer served only in Hokkaido!
Voila!
This is a dish of assorted
sashimi set including scallop, tuna,
botanebi prawns, Sakhalin surf clam, squid, and whelk! All of them are veeeeeeeeeeeery
fresh!
If you like shellfish, how about shellfish sashimi assort （お刺身貝づくし）?
Of course, we can order our favorite sashimi only. For example...............
■Chutoro （中トロ）
If you like tuna, you must try it!!
or how about
Ootoro （大トロ）, the
highest graded tuna? Yummy x 2!!
I know it is too much for a lot of non-Japanese, but this is very fresh squid sashimi, which is still moving when it is served on the table! Hahaha!
■Octopus sahimi （たこ刺）
We Japanese think octopus is very delicious. How about you???
They also serve grilled fish, too.
■Grilled Kichiji rockfish （網走釣り生きんき焼）
It is not caught with a fishing net, but a fishing rod.
I think this is the
king of grilled fish in Hokkaido!
■Grilled sablefish
This fish is marinated with special miso paste named "
saikyo miso", which has distinctive aroma and really suits with plain rice! Yummy x 2!
■Grilled shishamo smelt
I've never seen such
plump smelt ever! It has a lot of fish eggs (row) and we really enjoyed it!
See?? It's very
fleshy!!!
■Grilled salmon
Hokkaido reminds a lot of people of salmon. Please enjoy very juicy salmon here!
■Grilled Scallop （焼ほたて）
Hokkaido scallops are huge and super super delicious!
Do you like crabs?
We can choose our favorite crabs sold on the fish store, and then the chef cooks it.
■King crab （タラバガニ）
This is one of our choices (before being cooked)↓
Actually we ordered to have it both grilled and
boiled! Do we eat too much???
I personally recommend
grilled ones because it is
sweeter and
more juicy although it takes longer time to cook it.
Last but not least, I'll introduce their delicious seafood bowl!!
■Seafood bowl （海鮮丼）
If you cannot decide which seafood bowl is the best, Please order it because it has almost all kinds of seafood they serve↓
■King crab & tuna bowl （たらば・トロ丼）
This is not on their menu, but one of my guests loves tuna and crab very much and I asked the chef to make this original bowl! I like this restaurant partly because the menu is very
flexible like this♪
■Boranebi prawns and selected shellfish bowl
This is what I ordered! Every seafood bowl comes with
miso soup and a small dish↓
Tada!
The
botanebi prawns are
HUGE!!!
I also fully enjoyed a few kinds of local shellfish such as scallop, Sakhalin surf clam, and whelk! Actually
after customers order seafood bowls or sashimi sets, the chef shuke a clam in this restaurant! That's why their seafood is very delicious!
I was very happy to eat such
giant botanebi prawns today!
I especially like this
head part! It's very tasty!
How about a scallop and salmon bowl or
a
salmon,
salmon roe and
pink shrimp bowl? Hokkaido is a seafood paradise!
They serve a wide variety of seafood bowls!!
Do we order all of them below? Yes! Hahaha!
■Sea Urchin bowl
How gorgeous it is! I really love
fresh creamy sea urchin!!
We also ordered crab soup! Perfect!!
After the lunch, we enjoyed shopping at the fish market!
Of course, hairy crabs are
alive in sea-water tanks.
Look at the
gigantic Atka mackerel!
I love these
local shellfish; whelk and Sakhalin surf clam!
The sea urchin looks very brilliant! It is very fresh
without any preservatives. Perfect!
I really enjoyed a wonderful lunch in the fish market restaurant with my very lovely tour guests today!!
