Otaru Sankaku Market

Awesome market right by the train station in Otaru. Ten or so retail shops selling crabs live and frozen. And about 5 restaurants that cook fresh crabs and fish. Also serving raw seafood bowls. Probably a bit more expensive than other places in Otaru.

It’s a lovely market where you get to see a wide array of seafood. The dishes were tasty and very fresh, however do expect tourist prices as the place is indeed very touristy. You can find other local restaurants with similar dishes at a fraction of the price.

King crab (half boiled and half grilled), Ikura Salmon Don, kaisendon, tamagoyaki, grilled clam, uni ikuradon, grilled oysters. The main market at Otaru is located right outside the station. Despite not being a wholesale market that we went previously at Sapporo, the seafood sold here is competitive and we devour a king crab that is just below 3kg.

A very small seafood market serving fresh Hokkaido / Otaru seafood ranging from all kinds of crabs to oysters to clams to black cod fish, urchin and more. We tried the first stall on the right of the entrance and were given a discount as we were the first customer for the day. We had live King crab and oysters, both were awesome!!

We visited Sankaku Market in the morning and was aiming for crabs feast. We had the king crab ( half BBQ and half steam) and hairy crab. Both are delicious but the best is the Uni Don rice bowl very fresh but come with quite expensive price tag. However, the Uni was the best I had have in Japan...so it worth the price tag. ;)
