As I said before, now is the time to have a good look (and buy) seafood and fish at the big supermarket in Parche, Shizuoka JR Station, in Shizuoka City, especially local!
And once again II did find some thinsgs of great interest as usual!
It was in early afternoon away from the thick morning and late afternoon crowds!
taka Ashi Gani/Japanese spider crab！
These are comparatively small specimen as the Japanese spider crab is the biggest (legs and all. The biggest body belongs to the Tasmania Crab!) crab in the world!
Although they can be found elsewhere in Japan, the largest specimens are found in Suruga Bay off Heda (part of Numazu City9 in Izu Peninsula!
Very long tachiuo/Scabbard fish from Yui, Shimizu, Shizuoka City!
Not really cheap, but a succulent fish, raw or cooked! A popular choice at local sushi shops!
Small cuttle fish/Ko ika from Numazu!
They are probably all family!
matodai/John dory, St. Peter’s fish!
Umazurahagi/A large variety of Filefish also called Black scraper!
Himekari, a very deep sea fish caught in Numazu! Rare!
Meitakarei/Ridge-eyed flounder caught on sand bottoms off yui, Shimizu Ku, Shizuoka City!
