Are you crazy about sashimi?
Then you probably know the mixed feeling of happiness and disappointment when ordering sashimi at Japanese restaurants—it just never seems enough or, worse, not fresh enough.
You may especially get this bittersweet feeling with uni or sea urchin, which is not only hard to find but also exorbitantly expensive.
Well, we've discovered a place where you can afford to satisfy your sashimi craving!
JAAM Seafood Trading is a stall in Farmers Market Cubao where you can buy a cornucopia of fresh, high-quality seafood.
When you buy your sashimi here, you avoid the restaurant price.
In Japanese restaurants, a serving of uni sashimi, or about three tablespoons, costs at least PHP250 sans service fee.
You get about 10 times the amount of that at JAAM Seafood Trading. It also comes with a convenient packaging, which you can put back in the freezer.
And you also get undoubtedly fresher fish.
Uni Sashimi, PHP550 PER 500 grams
Harvesting uni or sea urchins is no joke. Their long toxic spindles need to be expertly cut off before getting the delicious, yellowy mound of sashimi.
It sure is worth it, though. The creamy, decadent, rich, sashimi tastes just like the sea.
Tuna and Salmon Sashimi Platter, P280 per 250 grams
Get creamy fresh salmon and hearty bright-red tuna that won't leave you wanting for more. It's sliced upon order and packed with ice so they're really fresh.
A sashimi addict wil find it almost unbelievable that a tray of a 250-gram sashimi, which is good for two, only costs the same as the price of an incredibly small serving at your typical restaurant.
Actually, you can even stretch this tray to be good for three by transforming it into a delicious poke bowl.
We suggest you buy this platter instead of an uncut sushi slab.
Do you prefer salmon or maybe just tuna?
You can get a platter of fatty, rich salmon at PHP320 and clean-tasting lean tuna at PHP300. You can also buy a tube of wasabi to go with your order for PHP100.
Fresh Tanigue Sashimi, PHP630 PER kilo
Don't limit yourself to typical sashimi options. You can also go for tanigue, a local fish that is commonly used in kinilaw.
Lobster and more!
You can also find other rare seafood here. It has lobster for PHP 2,800 per kilo, different parts of tuna and salmon, different sizes of shrimp, seaweed, oysters, and crabs.
If you're planning a great seafood feast, this just might be the place.
You Can Get It Delivered
Drop by at their stall at Farmers Market Cubao and they'll slice up your fish quickly.
You can also opt to get your sashimi delivered by messaging them through their Facebook page, paying through online banking, and getting your sashimi through Grab Delivery.
Don't worry, your fish will be packed with a lot of ice so it's high quality is guaranteed even after traveling.
