(Aka Yagara, Red Trumpet Fish)

Now is a great time to vist the marine products stands at Fresh Market inside Parche-Shizuoka JR Station!
Let’s look around and see if you recognize all those creatures!

“Aka Yagara”: Red Trumpet Fish. Makes for great sashimi and meuniere. Also called “Karasu Uo/Crow Fish>

“Mako Garei”, a local Halibut/Turbot variety. Popular in any part of the World!

“Hata hata” or “Sailfin Sandfish”. Typical of Shizuoka Prefecture. Great served grilled!

“Managatsuo”. Nothing to do with Bonito. Local white-flesh fish, great both as sasimi and grilled!

“Tako” or Octopus. Can be enjoyed, raw, cooked, or pickled. Or in Italina cuisine!

“Uchiwa Ebi”. Goes by the Latin name of “Ibacus ciliatus”. In Japanese means “Fan Prawn”. Very popular as sashimi or pickled!
