Hi you said you’d enjoy an image of a crab. I’m no expert but I think this is a crab so here you go. I took a picture of this guy at that market in seattle

Ohoho I believe that is a genuine crabbo! Looks like his 'butt" is facing us

I don't like how in markets they stuff a ton of animals into tiny tanks, but I guess they get bought fast enough that they don't stay cramped for long? At least I hope so.

Reasons to Buy Frozen Seafood

Freezing is a natural preservation method that doesn't necessitate preservatives usage. When it comes to fish and seafood, freezing can yield premium quality throughout the year. It also enables you to use the exact amount you need, reducing waste. Moreover, frozen fish and seafood can be up to 25% more economical than fresh ones.

tokyo tohoku trip - day 12.

starting the day at tsukiji outer market 築地場外市場, even though the fish market has moved to toyosu, this area remains very popular for fresh seafood and lots of other street food. we came here on a wednesday so a lot of stores are closed, it also means there should be less people, some stores are still super crowded though.

we walked around the market and tried a few street food, fresh sashimi from 築地 斉藤水産, the seafood variety here is plenty, you can ask them what is good for the day as well, everything looks super yummy. all the fish, prawn and sea urchin we ate was really good, very tasty and enjoyable. followed by grilled scallops from 築地うなぎ食堂, which also has grilled eel and other shellfish, another popular option among the crowd. last but not least, tamagoyaki from 築地 山長 is definitely a must-eat, especially for egg lovers like myself, it’s just so fluffy and i like to eat this while it’s freshly cooked.

for lunch, my friend and i went to shutoku 2nd store at tsukiji 秀徳2号店 for the omakase meal, we were served tamagoyaki, 10 pieces of sushi made from various local freshly caught fish, a handroll and miso soup. the chef prepared all the fishes and shell food first before starting to make the sushi. it’s a very enjoyable process to watch as the chef do wonders right in front of you. each fish is very fresh, has slight different texture and taste, and is complimented by various condiments which enhance the flavor. the meal was very satisfying and enjoyable, this was our second visit already.

we grab coffee after the meal at a rustic coffee store - yonemoto coffee 米本珈琲 本店, this store has so many different kind of coffee beans, and the coffee jelly i got is so yummy too. definitely a good place to visit for a great cuppa. after the coffee break, i head to shibuya on my own to continue my exploration, as shibuya has changed a lot recently.

i first did some stationery and souvenir shopping at loft, this is my favorite store to go to as it just has so many things to see and buy, and always something new to discover. they also offer duty free shopping which is very convenient too. after that, i went to shibuya scramble square, a new shopping mall that is super popular right now, to visit shibuya sky, the latest and hottest rooftop observation deck at the moment. i made reservation beforehand, so its very easy to get in with the QR code provided. they have lockers for visitors to store your things which is not allowed on the deck.

the deck is very spacious and windy, and there’s lots of tourists around, there’s also photography service which you can queue up for, otherwise you are free to roam around and take as many photos as you like, and stay as long as you wish to. as the sun goes down, the weather turns cold really quick though, but the sunset was very beautiful to watch. there’s some seating area and hammock and a helipad too. with a rooftop bar at one side which opens at night. it is definitely enjoyable to visit if you like the city view a lot and just wanna feel cool breeze.

when the sky starts to turn dark, i decided to leave and went down the building, and by chance, i found tokyu hands ハンズ on the 10th floor, and did more shopping, this is also one of my favorite place to shop for japanese stationery and home and living items. and this new store at shibuya scramble square is well organized and easy to look around too.

my last stop before heading back home is visiting the mega donki Megaドン・キホーテ渋谷本店 to purchase some souvenirs for friends and family, as this stores is so big, they have anything and everything that you wanna buy at a rather competitive price. i bought quite a few japanese snacks here, the options are endless and it’s also very reasonably priced. only downside is the paying process is long and painful as there’s only limited staff working at the counters for duty free checkout.

for dinner, my friend has prepared a feast at home for the both of us, she bought so many fresh ingredients and cooked a delicious and heartwarming meal. there’s grilled fish, pumpkin, miso soup, fresh vegetables and more. everything is really yummy, and we had a great meal and it’s so just relaxing to be able to have a homecooked meal. our meal ends with the egg pudding i got from shimokitazawa a day before, which is so creamy and the egg taste is really fragrant and rich and not really sweet at all.

webfishing is such a breath of fresh air honestly. i feel like every vaguely "cozy" title wants to be minecraft or animal crossing or stardew valley, but the bloat of all the obligatory timesink systems has been smothering the joy of the low-stakes open-ended lollygagging. i can never just hang out in games like that, because everything is locked behind so many layers of heirloom mechanics included purely for trendiness (via blind imitation of the big name games) and not because they actually improve the gamefeel or streamline the gameplay loop. i can't just play ten minutes of a game like that because those ten minutes are gonna damage my tools/armor or run down a timer or use up a crafting resource or some other chain reaction of unfun grinding garbage.

meanwhile, webfishing has no crafting, no survival, no item breakage, no stamina meter, no food meter, no jumpscares... the physics-defying out-of-bounds void area doesn't beat you over the head with the creepypasta shlock and mostly just exists as a fun convenient hangout spot to catch basically every fish in... and best of all there's insane griefing potential (meowing/barking, punching people into the water to drown them, playing guitar badly, drawing stupid shit all over the ground at spawn) yet zero consequences for actually getting griefed. if someone drowns you it literally does not affect you for longer than like five seconds.

also you can buy scratch offs and get drunk. i really appreciate that. i dislike the way a lot of cozy games seem to be stuck in a kid friendly tone owing to their origins in E and E10+ games/websites, only ever vaguely referring to adult topics, even while being marketed heavily towards nostalgic adults who grew up on the original ds or played a lot of neopets. just because i want a simple gameplay style doesn't mean i want to be babied; i want the simplicity because i'm an adult with realass adult responsibilities and don't have time/energy to grind, not because i'm still mentally ten years old and blanche at mature topics. and so i really appreciate the way webfishing will scratch that itch for "wild world if it was just fishing and able sisters" while also letting you have bloodshot eyes, wear a hat that says "i love peeing", and then blow all your money on beer and scratch offs. like honestly truly who else is doing it like webfishing

actually yknow what, no. this is not being limited to discord, yall get it too.

some general cooking tips (in which there is a brief senshi posession):

moisture is the enemy of crispy skin. pat dry with paper towel, and if you have the time and spoons, give a thorough but even coat of baking powder and let sit uncovered in your fridge overnight. this will dry out the skin nicely. for pork belly, create a tight foil boat so that only the skin is showing, and cover in salt to draw out moisture, repeating a couple times if necessary.

furikake seasoning, for the fellow rice lovers, is just nori (seaweed), sesame seeds, sugar, and msg/salt. you might have most if not all of these things already in your kitchen.

chai spice mix is just cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, cloves, nutmeg, & allspice.

pumpkin spice is just cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger.

to cure your own bacon, you only need water, white and brown sugar, and a non-iodized salt - himalayan pink salt is not iodized, if you cannot find butchers curing pink salt. from there, you can add any seasoning/flavoring you want.

the truly adventurous may cook their rice in green tea for a fresh clean taste.

you can tell if a fish is truly fresh by their eyes - clear and bright is fresh, while cloudy is older or potentially has been frozen.

it's cheaper to buy a large block pack of ramen from your local asian market and repackage the bricks into sandwich bags, than to buy a box of individually packaged ones such as maruchan or top ramen.

when buying meat, look at it's fat content - more fat marbling usually means more tender + flavorful.

you can save onion skins and other vegetable scraps to make your own broth with. you can also save bones for this. mix and match ratios to create your ideal flavor.

bay leaf will always make a soup or broth taste better, but Watch Out (they are not fun to bite into on accident).

msg is, in fact, not The Devil, that was just a racist hate campaign against the chinese and other oriental races. it's literally just a type of salt. it is no more dangerous to eat than any other type of salt.

washing your rice is important because it not only improves flavor and texture by removing excess starch, but it also helps reduce any residual pesticides or dirt, or even insect fragments (please remember that rice paddies are essentially giant ponds that all kind of things live in and swim around. you should also be washing all your produce in general.)

please salt your cooking water for pastas, it just tastes better and you will be happier for it.

boiled potatoes are also improved by salt water.

if you hate vegetables, please consider trying them fried in butter or perhaps bacon grease. it is healthier to eat them fatty than not at all.

healthy food does not in fact have to taste miserable. thats a lie. they are lying to you. free yourself from your blandness shackles. enter a world of flavor.

The easiest way to wrap your head around this is to consider that "fandom" is a discrete subculture that a subset of the entire fan base of a work.

Fandom is not a creator fanclub or a creator support network or a creator advertisement platform. Creators interacting with the fandom directly is a very new development brought about by the general erosion of communal boundaries. (This part also includes fans taking the fruits of fandom to the creator's table. Stop tweeting fanart at creators, they can find it themselves if they really want to.)

Literally the only thing that stops a creator from being a problem for the fandom is the maturity and understanding of the subculture. For every creator that is delighted by their fandom, there is always going to be one who hates you on principle for not reading their work exactly as they wanted you to read it, not interacting with it in the way they intended, whether it's as banal as liking the wrong characters or as complicated as writing the wrong kind of fanfic, and whether or not this becomes a fight depends entirely on whether they see it as their right to tell us about it and start that fight.

The more involved in fandom that creators get, the more pressure there is to bring fandom in line with the intended or the desired fan base. There more there is pressure to bring it in line with what is profitable, with what is marketable. Creators interacting with fandom have a direct profit incentive to do so, whether they're aware of it or not. (You'll note that this part is also relevant to what kind of fanworks creators encourage.)

Fandom is not for creators. Fandom has never been for creators. The relationship between creators and fandom is not hierarchical, and it's not mutual. Carve these words in your heart.

Once again, creators and artists trying to ban fans from shipping certain characters/making NSFW content/etc never actually stops fans from doing those things, it just makes them resent the creator in question and be far less willing to directly support and interact with both the creator and their works 💕

People still talk shit about Anne Rice and she's dead. Don't be the next person to be compleely disavowed by your fandom.

Your Complete Guide to Buying Fresh Fish at the Market

Are you a seafood enthusiast looking to buy the freshest catch at your local fish market? Whether you're a seasoned chef or just someone who enjoys a delicious home-cooked seafood meal, knowing how to choose the best fish at the fish market can be a game-changer.

In this guide, we'll walk you through the steps to ensure you pick the freshest and tastiest fish available.

1. Research Your Local Fish Markets

Before you even set foot in a fresh catch fish market in Dorchester, MA, it's essential to do some research. Find out which fish markets are reputable and known for offering high-quality, fresh fish. Check online reviews, ask friends and family for recommendations, and consider the market's location.

Fish markets near the coast tend to have a more extensive selection of seafood due to their proximity to the source.

2. Arrive Early for the Freshest Selection

The early bird catches the worm, and when it comes to buying fish, arriving early at the fish market is key. Fresh seafood is often brought in daily, and the best selections are available in the morning. This is when you'll find the widest variety of fish, and they'll be at their freshest.

As the day goes on, the choices may become more limited, so set your alarm clock and make it a morning adventure!

3. Inspect the Fish

Now that you're at the fish market Dorchester, MA, it's time to put your inspection skills to the test. When evaluating fish, keep the following tips in mind:

A. The Eyes and Gills Don't Lie

A fresh fish should have clear, bright eyes. Cloudy or sunken eyes are signs of aging or mishandling. The gills should be bright red or pink, indicating that the fish is still in prime condition. Avoid fish with brown or grey gills.

B. Firmness is a Good Sign

Press the fish gently with your finger. The flesh should spring back and feel firm. If it leaves an indentation, it's not as fresh as it could be.

C. Smell the Ocean

Fresh fish should have a clean, briny odour reminiscent of the sea. If the fish smells overly fishy or like ammonia, it's not as fresh as it should be. Trust your nose; it knows best.

D. The Skin and Scales

The skin of the fish should be shiny and metallic. The scales, if present, should be intact and firmly attached. A damaged or dull-looking skin can be a sign of mishandling or age.

4. Ask Questions

Don't be shy about asking questions at the fish market. The staff is usually knowledgeable and can provide you with valuable information about the fish they're selling. 

You can inquire about the fish's origin, catch date, and even the best cooking methods. They might also share their favourite recipes and cooking tips.

5. Sustainable Choices

When buying fish, consider making sustainable choices. Labels indicate that the fish is sourced and caught in an environmentally responsible way. By supporting sustainable practices, you're not only getting fresh fish but also helping to protect our oceans.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you'll become a pro at selecting the freshest fish at the fish market. With a little practice, you'll confidently bring home the best catch of the day and create delicious seafood dishes your family and friends will rave about. 

So, set your alarm clock, head to the fish market Dorchester, MA, and embark on a culinary adventure that starts with the freshest ingredients. Your taste buds will thank you!
