This is a port town...

At a local market in Otaru.

Chunks of whale blubber, and at the upper left corner, whale bacon.


Hoke, sole, turbot...


Tuna, uni, roe, octopus, seaweed...


Salmon, abalone, scallops...

Kegani at $25/tray!


Salmon roe!

More seafood! That mushy, white mass of "brains" on the right is called "shirako", or according to the Wiki, is fish milt -- "Milt or soft roe also refers to the male genitalia of fish when they contain sperm, used as food. "


Fresh shirako up close, shrimp and some weird fish.
