The Market at HFS (Cathy’s visits)

mmm-yoso!!!, food blog.  Today Cathy is writing while Kirk is busy at work.

Kirk has written  a few posts about The Market at HFS and and some of their offerings, but not since 2021 and this brief mention the other day. The Mister and I have discovered the joy of proper poke and kitchen offerings at this centrally located fish market and kitchen. The 'primary' location is on a cul de sac in an office park near the Qualcomm campus.  There is a location at Liberty Station and also a food truck. (Liberty Station does not have a kitchen or fish market).

 Walk in, follow the signs.

Here is the complete poke menu.  Daily offerings vary.  There is also a display case with fresh fish available.  If you have Instagram, the offerings are posted early.

 This is the list for today.
  On this visit, we chose a two scoop/medium bowl with lettuce ($17) shoyu ahi and garlic salmon.  The shoyu ahi is simply prepared, with green and mild/sweet onion and sesame oil.  The garlic salmon similarly relies on the fish and is prepared with minced garlic.

 Another day, we chose a Poke Plate ($19) with three scoops and half lettuce, one brown rice (it usually has three scoops of rice).  In front is tako- Japanese octopus with onion and seaweed and sesame oil; tender, thin cut, pleasant. Top left is "California" -with sweet and green onions, imitation krab and a sesame mayo (kind of a California roll, but better).  Bottom right is the "Pearl Harbor"-poke, made with oyster sauce and sesame seeds; not an overly sweet oyster sauce; you can still taste the ahi.   
 Half order fish and chips ($6). (Full order is $12)
  This is wonderful, well fried, quality ahi, craveable.
 The furikake ahi ($17) is another great kitchen choice.  Mac salad (excellent), white rice and freshness, flavor, quality.
 All the flavors  you need.
 If you see the HFS canned albacore at the counter, try one ($3.50).  It's great, just like everything here.
