Seafood caught off the coast of Fukushima Prefecture went on sale at local stores on Monday.

[...]

A type of shellfish and 2 kinds of octopus caught near Soma City are being sold at a local supermarket. The seafood can also be purchased in Fukushima City.

Sales were approved after the prefectural fisheries association found no unsafe levels of radiation in last Friday’s test fishing catch.

The association says it hopes to ship the next catch to Tokyo and other large cities if customer response is positive.
