Why I love Berkeley, CA: The other day I stopped by Tokyo Fish Market to see what it was about since I've been driving by all this time. I just thought it was a fish market and that's it. However, when I went in it was actually a Japanese goods store and a fish market. Very clean and not fishy smelly at all, what you would expect a "fish" market to be. But ahh. . . Hand it to the Japanese to be clean and orderly. The place is not cheap though but what do I find in the freezer but Laualau from Hawaii and POG drink (that's Passion orange guava). The got the gambit of Japanese dry goods, but I have seen that before at 99 Ranch Asian market and slightly cheaper too. Seems like they have some Hawaii ties because when I visited the gift shop there was a handful of Hawaii brand things I recognized and also Hawaii cook books.
Okay so I'm too cheap to buy any fish over 10 bucks a pound so I passed on the selection that day, and besides it was Tuesday so I don't know if that was a good selection in the first place. I'm used to fresh Ahi for 7 bucks a pound and I just can't bring myself to paying more than double the price for it. I will wait until I go back to Hawaii to gorge on that stuff. But Laulau. . . Oh well I'll pay the dam 40% mark up because I can give up a few bucks now to eat it now.
Since we're going to Vancouver at the end of the month and will be eating out all the time there, I have decided that we aren't going out to eat in the Month of August . Although that yummy food at Tandor Kitchen will be calling out and that slide down your taste buds spinach dish. . .so tasty. . . might not be counted since afterall you order and pay at the counter.
