Blog 4 - Fish market “Food entry”

My brother and father both went to Michigan and it just so happened they were playing in the college football playoff while we were here. We woke up early to go to the Star casino to watch the game and the game did not go Michigan’s way despite them being favored to win. My brother and dad were borderline depressed about the game and had little motivation to go on with their day. Luckily, we were right near the fish market and had our eyes set on getting some sushi tacos, oysters, and calamari. We began with the oysters and got 12 for the four of us. I usually am not one to go straight for the oysters but they were truly some of the most fresh and tastiest foods I’ve ever had. I’m also not one to take pictures of my food but this was one of the only times when I felt it was absolutely necessary so I could capture the moment and remember it forever. Despite the rough start to the day, we had an amazing lunch that rejuvenated us and made our day much better than it previously was. It was absolutely packed there as the locals were on holiday and many tourists went there to eat as well. After the oysters we tried our sushi tacos which was the highlight of the meal (and one of my highlights of the trip). We then ate the barramundi and calamari which were both amazing and we continued to eat until our stomachs would not allow it. There were also tons of birds gathered around to eat the leftovers that people left and to take advantage of little children who thought it would be a good idea to feed them. This was some of the best food I have ever eaten and it seriously cheered up my brother and my dad after their brutal college football playoff loss. I hope to be back there with the rest of the group so that everybody can experience the amazing food that I was lucky enough to have.
