These Are The Foods Sold At World's Coldest Market

Are you a food lover with a penchant for adventure? Then you should definitely put the world’s coldest village on your bucket list! Yakutsk is considered ‘the North pole of cold’, with temperatures known to hit a record -80 degrees Fahrenheit.Show more

Because the soil is terrible for growing plants, the locals feed on fish and meat alone. That is the only thing they sell at the market, frozen solid fish in the form of popsicles that people bring home and eat it raw! Still, the residents of Yakutsk are no strangers to the cold that made the entire fish market a frozen goods aisle!

Curious to know what is it that the Siberians sell at the world’s coldest market? The locals are offered stuff like whole rabbits, raw horse liver and horse blood, which is eaten raw or frozen, and freshwater fish, all lined up like delicate icicles. One seller says that at this time of the year, Siberian folk buy Stroganina, which is frozen fish strips. They also sell Nelma, Hucho Taiman, Atlantic Salmon, Broad Whitefish and Muksun, to name a few.

Feel like treating yourself? Then definitely try the Siberian Goose, reindeer organs, frozen solid, or moose meat. For the lovers of a good burger, they have Bison heads. Might not fit on a burger patty, but tastes equally juicy.

The meat mongers in Yakutsk pride on the fact that they offer the most natural produce and we totally believe them. We just can’t decided which to try first.
