A Day In a Japanese Fishing Village

  If ocean fishing is hard and lonely, fear will almost drive people crazy. Then sitting together at night and eating seafood dinner, drinking small wine and bragging is the time to relieve stress.

   To be honest, the seafood delicacies in Hokkaido are really endless and you can eat them in different ways. Because there is so much seafood in Hokkaido, you can do it without repeating it for a month.

   The happiest thing in the days of fishing is to be able to eat all kinds of freshest seafood dishes.

  It was night, 20 fishing boats were moored on the sea, and the dark night on the ocean was lit up by the lights on the fishing boats. From a distance, you can see that the lifeless sea seems to be alive.

   The fishing boat where Shuichi Minano was on was ready to start dinner.

  The sea breeze is refreshing on the deck, and there are seven or eight tables on it. More than 20 people gathered around to prepare for development.

  The table is full of dazzling dishes.

  Sushi made of various seafood, seafood rice, sea urchin rice, boiled crab, sashimi sashimi…

   Anyway, you are dazzled when you see it and you can't start. Like so many seafood dishes, most people need to go to the seafood market in Hokkaido to get it. However, fishermen can often eat it on the fishing boat. After all, what fish has not been caught in the ocean fishing?

   In fact, when Minamino Shuichi is bored, he also needs to take a few girls to the Nemuro seafood market to collect food, especially Iloti likes to eat. Because she is also a foodie.

The seafood market is one of the traditional markets in the island country. In addition to experiencing the market, you can also go there for the Sheng Shou Don, buy a bowl of rice with a few yen, and then stroll around with the rice in your hands. Just put the ingredients you like, and combine them into a unique bowl of seafood bowls that you like. The price is very cheap, and the ingredients are absolutely fresh.

   Seafood Market is a bit like Snack Street, but more fun than Snack Street.

   Each stall is selling a variety of different dishes. You can walk with a bowl of white rice and pick dishes to eat, and you can go to any stall to buy whatever you like. Anyway, the dishes sold in the seafood market are sold in small portions. Probably about a bite or two.

   Anyway, you can eat a variety of different types of seafood dishes after visiting the seafood market!

   Of course, some seafood markets specialize in one dish. For example, there is a small street in Nemuro Fishing Port, which is characterized by "Seafood Donburi as You Want". All sashimi is divided into small portions. Buy a meal, choose the seafood you want to eat, and find a seat on the side. Enjoy the freshest seafood.

   Most of the customers in this small street are people who seek a living in the Nemuro fishing port. It is convenient, fast, affordable and delicious.

   When there are more than 20 people eating at the dinner table, it is obviously more than during the day. But most of it is about fishing today. Because I really don't know what to talk about. The story of the hen laying eggs at home can be said more than three times. How boring is the life of fishing at sea!

  Some sailors drank wine and bragged, and some buried their heads in food.

   Eating tender and juicy salmon, sweet prawns, and the fragrant crab meat served with warm rice and flavor-enhancing side dishes are beyond words.

   "Ami, today's seafood bowl is good. Your craftsmanship has improved again!" A sailor gave Ami Inoue a thumbs up.

   "Giggle... Eat more if you like." Inoue Ami smiled charmingly.

   In fact, seafood rice bowl has always been a famous dish in Hokkaido. The freshness of the ingredients and the deliciousness of the ingredients themselves are the natural advantages of seafood rice bowls. Even the shellfish, which is often used as an auxiliary in rice bowls, is highly rated.

   In addition to seafood rice bowl, seafood rice is also a good popular dish.

   "The sea urchin rice you made today is delicious." Minami Shuuichi couldn't help but praise his woman. This woman is really good at cooking.

   "Of course, the last time I went home, I learned a lot from my dad. He told me all the secret recipes, hehe..." Ami Inoue smiled brightly.

   Yundan in the sea, extremely fresh sea urchin!

  The islanders gave the sea urchin a very beautiful name, Yundan. Its unremarkable black thorn hard shell hides a golden paste, which makes the world's gluttons drunk. The water in Hokkaido is cold enough and has zero pollution, so the sea urchins produced are particularly plump and plump. In addition to the aforementioned Okujiri Island, the sea urchins from the Shakotan Peninsula are really impressive. The types of sea urchins produced in Shakotan are purple sea urchins and Ezo horse manure sea urchins. Among them, Ezo horse manure sea urchin is recognized as the top.

   Yesterday, a fishing boat caught the Ezo horse manure sea urchin, so we have the sea urchin bowl tonight!

  It is not easy to eat this kind of sea urchin. After all, it is seasonal and generally only available in summer. Anyway, Minano Shuichi hasn't eaten this kind of sea urchin for a year.

   "It's delicious! It makes me feel like eating other foods." Minami Shuichi licked his lips after eating a bowl of rice.

Ezo horse manure sea urchin can generally grow to 8cm in size. The thick and fleshy sea urchin is sweet and not astringent, the taste is thick, and the texture is smooth; while the purple sea urchin is lighter in color than the orange-red Ezo horse manure, and each petal is Complete, melt in your mouth, with the salty aroma of kelp and sea water.

"My dad learned this recipe from Shakotan people back then. Shakotan people are very good at eating, and only eat shrimp and horse dung. In order to enjoy that sweet taste all year round, every household will pickle the sea urchin with its own secret recipe, and keep it. The sweet aroma and instant taste of fresh sea urchin satisfy everyone's appetite for all-year-round food." Inoue Ami explained.

   "Not bad, this sea urchin bowl is really delicious. It's the best sea urchin bowl I've ever eaten." Nanye Xiu smiled. It is said that he has eaten a lot of delicious food in recent years.

   Anyway, Hokkaido is indeed a food paradise, a paradise for seafood delicacies!

   Now Minamino Shuichi is not keen on eating all kinds of sashimi, such as tuna, salmon and so on. He now prefers to eat omnivores, all kinds of seafood dishes. Some things don't have to be expensive to be delicious.

   "Come on, here comes the boiled crabs!" At this moment, one or two sailors brought up two large plates of crabs.

   Crab is definitely one of the most popular dishes on this side of Hokkaido. Among them, boiled crab is the most common dish, boiled in water, so that you can eat the most authentic crab meat.

  In Hokkaido, the traditional way of eating crab is very simple, usually cooked and made into cold dishes, dipped in lemon, soy sauce or vinegar. Crab sashimi, crab hot pot, crab tempura, crab sushi, crab barbecue, crab stew and other crab dishes can be enjoyed all year round.

   Minamino Shuichi has tried all of the above methods, but his favorite is crab barbecue, because it is so fragrant!
