The Miyako City Fish Market is a key landing port in Iwate Prefecture, known for its high volume of seafood including Sanma (Pacific saury), salmon, and Kegani (horsehair crab). While the market itself is primarily for wholesale and not open to the general public for direct purchases, the adjacent Uoichiba Shokudo (fish market cafeteria), opened in 2017, welcomes visitors. Here, you can enjoy fresh seafood dishes at reasonable prices, such as sea urchin rice bowls, soba, and set meals. The cafeteria is open from 7:00 to 14:00. The nearby Michi-no-Eki (roadside station) "Sitopia Naado" also offers dining and seafood purchasing options. The seawall offers views of the harbor and Mt. Gassan.
