Sushi in house

When my sister was in town last month, we had a feast of seafood bought fresh from the fish market.

Salmon & Tuna Sashimi

The sashimi was very very fresh, without any fishy smell whatsoever. It seemed the only way to taste fresher fish is to eat them alive, while still kicking away in your mouth. There was a tinge of sweetness as we engulfed every single piece.

Check out the color of the tuna as well. I've heard before that the freshness of the tuna is linear with the brightness of the red color. (which part of the tuna probably plays a factor as well) But my mouth says its fresh and I'll believe it without a benefit of a doubt.

It only costs $12.XX for the whole lot. Imagine japanese eateries selling 6 slices for exhorbitant prices of $5.00 or more.

Oysters

Next up we had oysters, which was divided into the sweet OR salty type. To be frank I couldn't really tell the difference. But they all had the seawater taste.

Close up

The price for a dozen of oysters is about $14 - $17 depending on size or origin. The supposedly good ones are from tasmanian oysters.

Thinking back it was actually quite amazing no one had a serious bout of tummy-the-pain-ache considering the amount of raw/uncooked stuff we consumed.
