Guest guest Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 Hey everyone! Could any of you recommend some shops in the International district (and their locations possibly) that carry good quality fruit? Thanks! Shawna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 Do you mean good quality as organic only? If so, I know of no organic carrying asian market. If they can be non-organic, just walk into any in the asian district and you will be satisfied. - Shawna Lendzion RawSeattle Sunday, April 04, 2004 12:12 PM [RawSeattle] Where to find exotic fruits?

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 Hi Shawna, Kevin's right, conventionally grown is the rule in Chinatown. Hau Hau has the most variety and best prices, but the lowest quality durian (if that's what you're looking for). The best places for durian are Viet Wah (on the main drag through Chinatown, the one running east-west) and Lam's Seafood Market (take a left at Hau Hau and it's about 1/2 block down). Young coconuts can be had just as cheaply at Central Market, if it saves you any driving. Central has durians too but at double the price ($8-11 each). If you're trying durian for the first time it might be a good idea to get one at Central, though, because they've been pretty reliable in my experience.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 Thank you both for the suggestions...I figured that I wouldn't be finding any organic exotic fruits in Chinatown. This is exactly what I was looking for, Nora. Shawna Nora Lenz [nmlenz] Sunday, April 04, 2004 1:55 PM RawSeattle Re: [RawSeattle] Where to find exotic fruits?
