Shizuoka Prefecture in Japan is famous for its delicious seafood. There are several fish markets in the region, and I visited one of them, the “Yaizu Fish Center.” It was filled with fresh fish for sale, and I had the chance to enjoy plenty of sashimi and sushi🍣✨The section where whole crabs were lined up was especially impressive🦀‼️
