St. Lawrence Market

After our cheap lunch, we walked over to St. Lawrence market on Front to pick up some sushi salmon for Ian.

This is probably the best place in Toronto to get tasty fish, meat, cheese, bakery stuff etc. Also a couple of good kitchen gadget places and specialty food type places. Really not that great for produce and fruit....although we did pick up a very tasty and perfectly ripe avocado for the sushi making.

At one of the Asian type stores, I picked up some tempura mix. Odd that I cannot find it at the No Frills...whereas in Thompson they had it at the extra foods for 1/3 the price!



Some of these little guys were swimming around, but others not doing so much. Maybe they were sleeping (hopefully???).








Kind of grouchy Ian standing in front of our cheese shop. There's nothing like an outing to the market to get Ian into a bad mood!







He cheered up slightly when we arrived at our destination...Mikes seafood. Here's some tasty assorted stuff.







Finally, our mission completed! On the advice of a rather surly fish-monger, he got a big hunk of organic Atlantic salmon. The guy started with a rather small piece, but Ian got him to move the knife over and ended up with $15 worth! Perhaps leftover pan fried salmon tonight for dinner.
