Wearing two masks and armed with a single shot of Pfizer vaccine, I went on a crazy, bank-breaking, grocery shopping spree this lunch time at 'Freshway, Markham'.
Picked and bought some interesting finds from an array of impressive, eye-opening 'exotic fruit ' display.
Following is a sample list of 'less common' products.......... just tip of the iceberg:
Taiwanese Red Oranges, Original Fuji Apple from Japan ($4 each ), Columbia Sugar Mango ( $6.99 pp ), Purple Musk Melon from Japan ( $28.99 pp or each? ), Flora Mango from Peru ($9.99 pp ), Elephant Tusk Mangoes from Thailand and Vietnam ($11.99 pp ), Exotic Asian Pears from Japan, Korea and China........etc.
Also came across/bought Australian 9+ Wagyu Striploin, live Alaskan Red & Crystal Crabs and Shell-on, Giant Diver Scallops with Roe in the seafood and butcher sections.
Yu Charles, try one of these apples. Prices are wholesale.

Nice haul Charles. The Wagyu looks below par IMO for the price they are charging. Having tried the Aussie Wagyu at Costco several times I think I will just bite the bullet and order the one Costco sell online from Japan as it has great feedback.
Can't comment much on the fruit except the mangoes (which aren't really mangoes IMO :)
