FREE BBQs

The day's catch at Itoman Fish Market.

kinawa is surrounded by water, which means that there is always fresh seafood to be had. The island is dotted with fish markets, offering the best of the daily catch to shoppers. Itoman Fish Market is one of the best markets on island and visitors can drop in to view and purchase an assortment of seafood, from squid and octopus to tuna and eel. Sightseers can also buy freshly cut sashimi to eat at the market or take home.

Itoman boasts one of Okinawa’s largest ports and is known for being a fisherman’s town, so it comes to no surprise that the Itoman Fish Market offers one of the widest assortments of fresh seafood on island. To get to Itoman Fish Market, go south on Highway 58 and follow it past the airport as it turns into Route 331. Continue south past Ashibinaa Outlet Mall and Nishizaki Sports Park and look for the market signs on the right.
