There are lots of restaurants and snack shops along the famous Sakaimachi in Otaru. The road has many glass shops, glass workshops, music-box shops... and places to eat! There is also free food tasting in some cake shops, too.
I didn't have time to visit the seafood market, but there are some seafood shops on this street. Some establishments provide an on the spot barbecued snack, made to order. I had a dish of king crab legs, grilled, and a large scallop, grilled with shells.
There are many nice seafood restaurants, too, but I had too many snacks along the road, and could not eat any more. Next time, I will try the three-colour rice... there are also three types of seafood on cooked rice.
Otaru is famous for seafood.
Alternatively, you can also try the Sushi Shops Street ( Sushi-Ya Machi), which is near the covered shopping alley not too far from the rail station.
(By the way, I had already had preventive injections of hepatitis A and B before I went abroad.)
