Michael and Connie paid me a visit a few weekends ago, and decided to take them to Redondo Beach Pier for some spicy fish soup at Pacific Fish Center. Even though I did just go there recently with Young and Lydia, figured... why not, it's a beautiful day!

I had to get the live shrimp again. Just as good as I remembered!
With the live shrimp, you also get the fried shrimp heads!
Ahhhh so good. Shrimp flavor to the max.
Spicy fish soup once again! A large this time :P
Yes :] Fish (prob cod), mushroom, green onion, tofu, cabbage, daikon etc. Good stuff.
After we killed the soup, walked around a bit and headed down one level of the pier and headed to Quality Seafood for some fresh fresh fresh uni!
Since 1953!
It's an old school spot that sells all sorts of fresh seafood. They even have an oyster bar right at the front and you can choose from over 20+ oysters to have it shucked in front of you. Ranges from $1.65~$2.50. A LOT of people go for that.
Fresh yellowtail!! Would totally get it if I knew how to cut and fillet fish... hmmm... hamachi sashimi and kama.
What Connie and Michael were aiming for! Fresh sea urchin for some uni.
Sorry buddy. You gon die.
Fishmonger opening up the sea urchin for us...
... and you get this!! Uni! As fresh as it can get! Flavored with a little sea water. It was actually still moving around while it was sitting on the plate hahaha.
I have never seen uni with that shade of yellow. It's had such a vibrant yellow color.
Look at all the little egg sac haha. To be honest, I still have not acquired the taste for uni yet... it's still a bit too much for me.
Yea, Connie and Michael killed it. I only had a little spoonful, and now I can say I did it haha.
Afterwards, decided to grab dessert!
Michael's chocolate covered black cherry ice cream cone.
Just your typical Dreyer's ice cream, but man, the black cherry is good already, but on a warm day, it was even better.
Connie and I decided to share a funnel cake topped with french vanilla & mint chip. Funnel cake was disappointing :[
Good food, good friends, beautiful weather: it was a good day!

I asked the lady the following weekend what kind of fish it was; she said hah-lee-butt (halibut) in her Korean accent, hahaha... glad you conquered your fear of the uni!
