Just returned from a cruise lecturing aboard the ms Volendam, from Yokohama to Vancouver, via Hokkaido and Alaska.
The fish market in
Hakodate, Hokkaido was amazing! Crabs, including King Crab, and fish of all sizes... and live squid...

Squid in that tank do not have a bright future!! Once caught they are quickly turned into sashimi on the spot. Good thing this is a relatively sustainable fishery! I for one am not a big fan of squid sashimi... I prefer not to look my lunch directly in the eyeballs!
I prefer my squid nicely grilled on a skewer... thank you!
