Petropavlovsk Fish Market
Рыбный рынок
Kamchatka's seafood market, where red caviar, king crab and smoked salmon cost far less than in Moscow, making it the top choice for gifts.
Kamchatka is rich in salmon and king crab, and the regional capital's fish market is where locals buy seafood. Stalls offer red salmon and pink salmon roe (red caviar) in various grades, frozen or cooked king crab and snow crab legs, hot- and cold-smoked salmon, dried fish and scallops, and most of them can be sampled. When buying caviar, choose vacuum-packed or canned versions and ask whether it can be packed chilled for the flight home. July to September is salmon season, when the fish is freshest. Check the import rules for meat and fish products in your destination country.
