Nakaminato Fish Market
market
那珂湊おさかな市場
Working fishing port market serving ultra-fresh sashimi bowls and grilled catch at local prices.
Situated beside one of Ibaraki's busiest fishing ports, Nakaminato Fish Market is a sprawling collection of seafood stalls and restaurants where you eat steps from where the catch was landed. Fresh sashimi bowls, grilled whole fish, and towering seafood towers are served at prices well below Tokyo markets. The no-frills atmosphere and working-port setting feel completely removed from tourist Japan.
Walk the full market once before buying. Prices and quality vary between stalls, and the best finds are often in the back.
