Hello, this is Koide from Freeway!

Today we held our “Let's Eat Crab Dive” at Kitakoura!

Red snow crab (benizuwai) from Akadomari.

We bought them at Yakichimaru!

Red snow crab eaten together with everyone: priceless!

Today a rare fish showed up, too!

A Pacific cod (madara)

About 100cm in size

Huge

It seems the Pacific cod are in their spawning season right now, too.

In this season we see them very occasionally.

Dive 2 was at the artificial reef

The water temperature was 10℃, but

a juvenile hakofugu (boxfish) was still alive.

Hang in there, little boxfish.

And believe it or not, an adult was alive too.

It was my first time seeing an adult and a juvenile at the same time.

An umisaboten (a sea pen), which I personally love.

Thank you again for today.
