Local Shizuoka Fish & Seafood at Parche Fish market in Shizuoka City: Including Splendid Alfonsino!

these last past weeks have witnessed extreme heats and it must be reaaly tough work for fishermen to go at sea even at night!
Yesterday I visited Parch Market in JR Shizuoka Station to find out what was available as local fish and seafood!

Beautiful red fish over there!

Kinmedai/金目鯛/splendid alfonsino!
A local delicacy with a great name!

Not cheap for a medium-sized fish!
They had been brought in the morning from Kogawa harbor in Yaizu City!

there still some beautiful fish left in the “mixed batch”, too!
