Quality Seafood - I like Uni, do you? (Redondo Beach)

Quality Seafood

After perusing through my pictures from my trips to Torihei, I realized I'm too lazy to get the review out today, but I did notice a few uni pictures I took at Redondo Pier and realized I could use some right now!

Now, originally, I was not a fan of uni. I may have been traumatized from the low quality uni served at Todai Buffet while I was in College. As time progressed, I've enjoyed eating uni at various sushi restaurants, but this was the first time I had uni (sea urchin roe) inside the sea urchin itself. Unaware of the price, I assumed it would be quite hefty, similar to the uni I've had previously. However, the sea urchin was sold at $6.99/lb and my alien looking creature was actually less than $7, what a bargain! Rich, fresh, and delicious are three words I would describe about this magnificent creature. While it was a bit uncomfortable seeing the tentacles of the sea urchin move during its roe comsumption, the quality of the uni quickly made that uneasy feeling quickly dissipate.

Quality Seafood not only carries a decent selection of cooked food (primarily seafood, but they have chow mein! *sarcasm*), but they do carry a massive amount of fresh seafood for you to enjoy at home, or in our case, eating it there. They carry a variety of fishes, crabs, lobsters, oysters (freshly chucked between $1.50 - $1.90, I believe. Bargain!), and of course, our good friend, the sea urchin. I highly recommend visiting Quality Seafood whenever you're around the Redondo Pier, you can't really beat the price and quality of this place!

Hockey Hall Of Fame - My Date With Lord Stanley (Toronto, ONT)

Image
Entrance As we shift some of these review back to our neighbors upstairs, Canada, this is a way to introduce myself. Hi, my name is Danny, I'm a Panda, and I'm also a Hockey fan. Growing up in the United States, before becoming a foodie, a "gourmand," I've always been what you call a sport nut. I love Baseball, Football, Basketball, and heck, even NASCAR, but in the past 3-4 years, the sport that I've been following primarily has been Hockey, and my San Jose Sharks. All this was probably due to the nightly hockey conversation with my buddy Samuel, a hockey fanatic from Canada. One of the main reasons I decided on adding Toronto to our Canadian tour wasn't due to its food, but for me, selfishly, I wanted to see the National Hockey Hall of Fame. It's like going to Graceland for them Elvis fans. Here we go: Shot from Entrance Located underground in a small shopping center, the Hockey Hall of Fame was neatly tucked in a corner, though the Hall of Fame inte

Les Délices de l'Erable - Great Little Tourist Stop (Montreal, QC)

Image
Les Délices de l'Erable It's our last day in Montreal, and the last meal that awaited my buddies and I would be the main reason I had suggested Canadian trip in the first place, Au Pied de Cochon. Since we had to finish the smoked meat plate from Schwartz from the night before for breakfast, none of us were hungry and would rather save our appetite for the foie gras feast that awaited, thus we stopped by this rather lovely gelato and maple syrup shop while we were strolling around the streets of Montreal. Inside Les Délices de l'Erable This was a very clean and neat shop. You were able to not only purchase the various flavors of gelato available, but also maple syrup to take home. I would have to say though, an French speaking Asian girl was pretty hot! Various Flavors of Gelato While it may not be the best gelato I've ever had, it was definitely very good. One of the flavor I chose was maple syrup and I love the flavors in the gelato. Even though the temperature in Mon
