Christie's Seafood Excellence

I have had the aburi scallop before and it was good! There was a nice balance of rice, salmon and scallop which all goes well with the melted cheese and mayonnaise.

The fresh oysters were better than the fried bucket. The cutlets and fish sticks seemed like they were fried long ago and they came pretty soggy and sagged with oil. The oysters were fresh and succulent though. P.S. Try visiting the fish market before 10am if you want to beat the crowd.
