Fishes of the sea full of fish market in Chile that can make sashimi and sea urchon

I could not think of being able to eat seafood fortunes in South America from clams to salmon and sea urchins to sashimi. Chile with long coastline in north and south is seafood paradise, local fish market is lined with fresh seafood. Also in the supermarket seafoods, fresh fish, frozen foods, canned goods sea foods seemed to be abundant, seafood seemed indispensable for the life of the Chilean people.

Hello,Around the World Bicycle WorldIt is Takuya Sudo @ Chaliderman. Currently it is everyday of beef life in Argentina, but in Chile of neighboring country it was a fish-centered diet.

Freezing pack of 'Mussels (Choritos)' that I often bought. A price of 300 pounds and around 1200 pesos (about 240 yen).


Canned shellfish which I had in the section without the city. I also bought canned "Jurel" and "Sardina".


Let me introduce the rich seafood of Chile this time. Fur seals also lived in the fish market.

◆ Vina del Mar and Valparaiso
Facing the Pacific Ocean west of Santiago, the capital of ChileVina del MarThere is an inn that Japanese people gather, so I can relax. Valparaíso 's fish market is famous here, and fresh seafood is available cheaply, so someone went out to buy someone everyday. When people gather, we will cook dinner together, "Let's share rice with everyone".

I walk on the beach for about 20 minutes from the hotel to the fish market

When purchasing "Lingpio, Limpio Por Favor" you ask me to drop the fish. The rest is the finish of sashimi just by cutting at the inn.


◆ Cooking
It was self-catering every day because we can use kitchen in lodging in Vina del Mar. Prices will also increase as you enter Chile, so you can not go out to eat out easily. Unlike traveling by myself, it was a place where there could be someone, so it was nice not to be lonely. Share rice which I bought foods collectively and everyone to eat was the best, and I was doing work while doing it together.

This is Raineta which became sashimi. It is a white fish and my body is tight.

The scale was smaller than Valparaíso, but sea urchins were only seen here. There is a special dish called Clant.

The biggest purpose I came to Angermo Fish Market was this sea urchin


With this size packed in Gyu-kyu, 4000 pesos (about 800 yen)


When opening the lid, it looks something like this.


I put plenty of sea urchin on rice of hoka hoka and put soy sauce on it. The compatibility of a faintly sweet sea urchin and soy sauce is outstanding, and the rice also progresses at a stretch.


I could not finish eating in a day, the next day to Unipasta. I could fully enjoy the sea urchin.


Fishes and shellfishes were also full of everyday life, just like in Japan, because the sea is close to Chile. Blow the cold wind along the seasideHumboldt currentThanks to the cold weather, Chile is a country blessed with marine products.
