| - The name Sakana-Ya is not on the seafood section of the store anymore, although I did notice that one product in the section did bear the name Sakana-ya. They still have a variety of Japanese food product imports, but when I went a few weeks ago, they had a significantly smaller amount of fresh seafood than they once had. They also had fewer sashimi and sushi options prepared. I did manage to snag a package of cubed, raw, sashimi grade tuna, and a package of chopped up big eye tuna, also raw and sashimi grade. Both were under $5 each, and both I'd consider quite a good deal. I ended up going home and making poke with them. It was fresh and delicious. They also had a very reasonably priced raw hamachi kama (yellowtail collar), but as it was imported from Japan, my mother was apprehensive about it and we did not buy it. Something about radiation...
If I'm ever in the area, I wouldn't mind stopping by, but I wouldn't go out of my way to visit again. So sad. I've been tracking Sakana-ya since they were in J-Town. I hope they re-establish themselves as their own independent business sometime soon. I liked them much better that way.
