Kuroshio Market, a Must-Visit Fish Market in Wakayama with Tuna Cutting Show

Located a short drive from Wakayama, Kuroshio Market is a well-known local seafood market. Although it's not very large, it's always bustling with people. The parking lot next to it doesn't have many spaces, so you might have to queue, but you can offset your parking fee with purchases inside. If you don't want to wait, you can park near the amusement park instead, which isn't too far if you walk through the park. Kuroshio Market's other major highlight is the live tuna cutting show featuring black tuna, held daily at 12:30 PM and 3:30 PM. It's quite a spectacle, and the freshly cut tuna is sold in the sales area to the left 👈, with prices starting at one thousand yen. There's also a variety of fresh sashimi, fried foods, and grilled items. The grilled black tuna has more texture, so if you don't like chewy food, you might want to skip it. There's also an option to buy fresh seafood and grill it yourself in the outdoor dining area, which is a unique experience.
