Where to buy in the downtown

From Vladivostok are usually brought sweets Primorskie (Ptichie moloko), chocolates with salt, smoked salmon and caviar. In addition to these wonderful products, I can advise you to try other sweets of the "Primorsky" Confectioner factory, fresh seafood and seafood in ready-made salads and salads, various fish snacks, as well as Japanese, Korean and Chinese food such as beer and various snacks.

Sweets from the factory Primorsky Confectioner

Primorskie sweets (Ptichie moloko)

Souffle in chocolate. Instead of gelatin for gelation, Agar-agar obtained from seaweed is used. No Preservatives . Sweets are very popular in Vladivostok, served to the festive table and everyday, as well as a classic gift from the Soviet era.

Pay attention to the date of manufacture and shelf life - only 15 days . Fresh sweets - made a couple of days ago are much tastier, you can buy them in the shops of the Primorsky Confectioner. Keep in the refrigerator, I love them from the freezer.

Due to the short lope of storage, in other cities, sweets are not sold. If you are going to bring “Primorskie” sweets with you, buy fresh chocolates closer to the day of departure. Once again, I’ll draw your attention to the fact that expiring sweets are not tasting good.

Price from 250 rub. for a small box of 240g.
And 325r. for a large box of 400g.

Marmalade with agar agar

Marmalade in the form of orange slices or cubes, as well as other marmalade from the Primorsky Confectioner. Agar agar is used to form jelly. Marmalade differs in taste from ordinary marmalade. Price from 160 rub. per package 400 gr.

Chocolate with sea salt and sea kale

Chocolates taste good, and sea salt crunches on the teeth. I advise you to try and bring with you. Also, the chip of chocolates is the original design of the wrapper. Price from 85r. for chocolate 100g.

Chocolate by weight

We sometimes buy chocolate by weight, especially i like chocolate with sesame seeds. Price from 60r. for 100g.

Salted and smoked fish

Sockeye salmon is sold by weight, cut in packaging. Cutting is more expensive. You can find it in supermarkets as well as in stores Fish Island . Try halibut sliced in packages or smoked halibut by weight.

Pay attention to the alternative to sockeye salmon - another red fish of the salmon family: chum salmon, coho salmon and pink salmon . This fish is likely to cost significantly less. What is the difference? The sockeye salmon looks prettier, the meat is red and dense. The taste will greatly depend on the quality of the fish itself and on how it was prepared.Trout are also sold, but these fish are imported and expensive.

Price examples

Smoked salmon or halibut in a market or supermarket by weight costs about 1200-1500r per 1 kg.
Smoked chum salmon or coho salmon - about 600 rubles.
At the airport, packaged sockeye salmon is more expensive and costs 1600 rubles per 1 kg.
In the supermarket, packed sliced sockeye 120-150r. for 100 gr.
Smoked halibut, sliced 170-200 rub. for 100g.

Red caviar

Buy and bring red caviar with you. In pink salmon and chum salmon, caviar is large, in salmon and coho salmon, small. Large does not mean the most delicious. The taste depends on the quality of the fish and salting. Therefore - how lucky. The price is about 3500-4000 rub. per 1 kg. Different packaging - jars 200-500 gr.

Fresh seafood

Shrimp

Be sure to try the bering shrimp. Sold by weight in fish stores as well as on the sports promenade, ready to eat. Traditional beer snack. Bering shrimps are a feature of Vladivostok.

In stores, the price is 1000-2500r for 1 kg depending on the size.
In the market from 600 rubles.
frozen shrimp is cheaper, fresh is more expensive.

Product quality is easy to understand by smell. You need to sniff only not frozen shrimp. Fresh shrimp should smell delicious If you don't like the smell a little, don’t take it .

Frozen shrimp by weight is dangerous to buy. Since it is not known what they will be when they melt. Frozen can be safely taken in stores in company packaging.

Scallop and trumpeter, crab

Scallops are grown on scallop farms, so in fish shops you can buy the freshest product at any time of the year, not frozen. It should have an exceptionally pleasant smell. You can eat raw,with lemon juice or soy sauce. You can fry lightly. I prefer lightly fried scallops. So that the middle was crude.

Crab can be bought whole in shell, or peeled meat in packages. Crab for sale is already boiled and ready to eat, but you can still fry it.

Estimated prices

Scallop 1500-2000 rub.
Crab meat 2000-4500r, salad meat cheaper, whole selected phalanx more expensive
Whole hornbeam 500-1500r per 1 kg, depending on the type (Volosatik, strigun, Kamchatka)

Seafood Preserves

Various seafood hodgepodge and salads

Hodgepodges is a good food and snack. Hodgepodge can always be bought at the supermarket and eat with bread as dinner. It is safe and tasty. Solyanki are very popular.

There are several manufacturers, how to choose? Take one in which there is no flavor enhancer. The price is about 50-100r depending on the composition and size. Examples of hodgepodge:

Sea kale with onions
Cucumaria with seaweed

Dried flounder 900 rub
Dried smelt 1500 rub

Smoked and dried squid

Vladivostok has a large selection of various squid products. Smoked soft squid tentacles is a feature of Vladivostok. They are sold in many supermarkets in packages and by weight. Try the dried tentacles in the package. They can be carried with you - light and well kept. Examples of prices for 100g

Smoked squid 100-150 rub.
Dried squid 200 rub

Frozen fish and squid

Buy halibut or sockeye salmon or coho salmon, Chinook salmon. Ask for steak cuts or buy steaks. Defrost and simply fry in a pan. It's fast.

Squid buy frozen and peeled. The easiest way to immerse in boiling water for 10 seconds. Then pull in out into, cut into rings and mix with mayonnaise. Overcooked squid becomes tough.

Chinese and Japanese beer

Asahi

Asahi Japanese rice beer in Vladivostok can be bought relatively fresh. It makes sense to buy in my opinion if the beer is no more than 2-3 months old. If beer is bitter, then You are out of luck, most likely his beer was stored incorrectly. Price from 130r. per jar 0.5

Harbin

Try Harbin 3.6% light Chinese rice beer. Beer is popular in Vladivostok and in other cities, you most likely will not meet it. Look at the date of manufacture, and try to buy a relatively fresh beer (1-2 months). Price from 100r per bottle 0.5
