Q & A

What is Costco?

Costco is an American membership-only warehouse club where customers pay an annual membership fee to shop.

What types of Costco memberships are there?

There is a standard membership for 4,000 yen per year and a premier membership for 10,000 yen per year.

What kinds of seafood did Kaneko buy from Costco?

Kaneko bought salmon, shrimp, octopus, abalone, scallops, mackerel, oysters, king crab, snow crab, and pangasius fish.

How does Kaneko prepare the raw oysters?

Kaneko rinses the oysters in a colander, sprinkles them heavily with salt, shakes them, and then rinses off the salt. This helps remove slime.

What is Kaneko's favorite part of the abalone?

Kaneko says the beak (or salivary gland) is the most tender and tasty part of the abalone.

How does Kaneko serve the seafood she bought?

She makes a sashimi platter, a hot pot dish, and grills some of the seafood.

Why does Kaneko recommend removing the ice coating from frozen crab?

The ice coating prevents freezer burn but also seals in flavors. Removing it allows more flavor to emerge when cooking.

What does Kaneko say is the advantage of buying shrimp frozen?

Frozen shrimp keeps longer. You can thaw it at home whenever you want instead of having to use it quickly like thawed shrimp from the store.

What method does Kaneko recommend for removing oyster slime?

Sprinkle salt directly on the oysters, shake, let sit briefly, then rinse. The salt helps draw out the slippery mucus.

What does Kaneko say is a good cocktail to pair with the seafood feast?

She chooses a non-alcoholic carbonated drink, saying it's important to take a break from drinking alcohol sometimes.
