Addiction Aquatic Development

Forget everything you know about damp, smelly fish markets. Addiction Aquatic Development (AAD) is what happens when you cross a traditional wholesale market with a high-end diverse dining experience. It is polished, it is loud, and it is absolutely essential for seafood lovers.

The main draw here is the standing sushi bar. Yes, you stand. There are no reservations, so you grab a number and wait with a beer from the grocery section. When you finally get your spot, order the "Omakase" set. For about $60 USD, you will get a parade of grilled abalone, hairy crab salad, thick cuts of sashimi, and nigiri that melts in your mouth.

After eating, walk through the live aquariums. King Crabs the size of car tires stare back at you. You can even buy pre-packed sushi boxes to go if the line is too long. Bring cash—they strictly do not accept credit cards here.
