At the Izumisano Fisheries Cooperative Open-air Fish Market, located adjacent to a fishing port, a wide variety of freshly caught seafood is available. Mantis prawns, swimming crabs, flatfish, sea bream, octopuses, and other seasonal sea delicacies are sold directly. Seafood caught in the afternoon, or hiruami, are put up for auction starting from around 2:30 p.m. The lively voices of those bidding at auctions create a vibrant, spirited atmosphere in the market. On the second floor of the building are seafood and BBQ restaurants, where visitors can have their freshly-bought fish cooked. Seafood BBQ, seafood donburi (rice bowl dish), fish tempura, and other dishes are served. This market also sells locally harvested vegetables, fruits, and flowers.
