Izumisano Gyokyo's Blue Sky Market♬ On the first floor, various shops line up with fresh fish and fried foods. In between, there are also food stalls, so you can buy and eat and enjoy. Also, bargaining is popular, with voices saying, "I'll make it cheaper!" buzzing around, creating a lively atmosphere at the market. I bought some fried fish and scallops and enjoyed them while looking at the sea on the terrace on the second floor♡ The freshly fried fish was exquisite, and it was my first time trying scallops♬ There are also popular restaurants on the second floor, and in the parking lot, Izumi's specialty towels are being sold at reasonable prices. It's a recommended market♬

After clam digging, head over to the nearby Izumisano Fishing Port Blue Sky Market. I had a mini salmon bowl, followed by freshly fried conger eel tempura and potato tempura. The conger eel tempura was surprisingly thick and freshly fried, so I enjoyed it while it was still hot. You can bring your own rice and have a lunch outdoors under the blue sky after finishing shopping, which could be a nice idea. This market mainly focuses on purchasing fresh fish and seafood to take home. There are a couple of dining places, but most vendors will call out to you with discounted prices. I got 7 thick slices of yellowtail (Hamachi) for 500 yen! I grilled 3 slices with salt for tonight's side dish, and the rest I made into simmered yellowtail. When buying slices at the market, they are roughly thrown into a bag, regardless of bloodlines. I have a cooler box in my car, so I can keep the freshness to a certain extent, but if you plan to buy more slices, it might be better to wash them in running water, wipe them dry, and carefully pack them for the trip home. There was also a shop offering a whole yellowtail for 1000 yen, saying they would prepare sashimi for you, but it's better to think about how to take it home for a more enjoyable meal. I actually brought home some clams, soaking them in seawater, and once back home, I immediately purged them of sand. It's been about 3 hours now, so I'll move them to the refrigerator, but if you just take the clams as they are and leave them in the car without water for hours, they might die and spoil your dish. So, after going through all that, I hope the clam dish I'll have tomorrow turns out delicious. Of course, I'm also looking forward to the simmered dish I'm making now. Make sure to have freshly cooked rice ready! #CongerEelTempura #PotatoTempura

Izumisano Fishing Port's Blue Sky Market is a seafood market in Izumi, Osaka, known for its high fish catch that competes for the top spot in Osaka Prefecture. The market has several shops selling fish, a tempura shop, a sushi restaurant, and a second-floor restaurant. This time, we decided to have a BBQ with clams. You can get Styrofoam and ice if you ask, but it's best to bring a cooler box. We usually have our favorite shops, but it's good to check out all the options as each shop offers different quantities, sizes, and prices. Here's what we bought this time: Large clams (6 pieces) + red shrimp (about 12 pieces) for 1500 yen, Medium clams (2 servings) for 1000 yen each, Asari clams for 1000 yen, Medium tuna cuts for 500 yen each, Large mentaiko (about 15 pieces) for 1000 yen, and 8 raw oysters for 1000 yen. The Kurehara Shoten shop removes the shells for you. Let's start grilling as soon as we get home. Charcoal grilling is indeed delicious, especially the clam soup that comes out of it. The red shrimp is great as sashimi or grilled, sweet and firm. The oysters are already shucked, making them easy to eat, and they remain plump even after grilling. We enjoyed them with ponzu sauce and grated daikon. Despite buying a lot, we finished everything, mostly thanks to my partner. Seafood is light and delicious, a nice change from meat. It was a feast, thank you!

I have visited the shop several times. My daughter called me saying she stopped by Izumisano Fishing Port and asked if I needed fresh shako, as she loves crustaceans. Whenever I visit my mother's hometown in Okayama, she often boils shako for us as a snack. Even now, I sometimes see live shako being sold around Komagawa Shopping Street during the peak season. Around 8:30 PM, the shako arrived, and I boiled them in a big pot and enjoyed them with a beer. They were smaller than I expected, about the size of my palm, maybe around 100 of them? It was tough to peel them with kitchen shears, but they were delicious! There were even cute crabs mixed in with the shako this time. After 90 minutes, we finished eating. My left hand was all wrinkled, but it was a great meal. Thank you!

I visited the Aozora Market at Izumisano Fishing Port after a long time in the Osaka area (^o^)/ As usual, there were many customers, some buying so much that their hands were full! In the end, I bought some conger eel for tempura and a bit pricey but local swimming crab on that day (^o^)/

I bought various seafood at the market and had a BBQ outside. They provided a set with meat, grill, chopsticks, sauce, plates, salt, soy sauce, and tongs. I secured a seat and went to buy seafood: turban shell, abalone, oysters, shrimp, salmon roe, sea urchin, tempura of conger eel, and octopus rice. It was nice to eat them raw or grilled. I didn't have to prepare or clean up for the BBQ, so I want to go again.

- Next to the sea fishing base! - A hidden gem spot. - Filled with takeout options?

Parent and child bowl for 1500 yen, conger eel tempura for 500 yen. Both the first and second floor have a store, with one store on the first floor.

Last week... I went to Izumisano Fishing Port Seafood Market for a barbecue with my loved one because she missed out on eating Toro and was craving seafood! I was so excited to go there just by hearing about it the day before! You can go there empty-handed, and it's affordable since it's a market! Plus, there's Rinku Premium Outlets nearby for shopping. This was my fourth time visiting this place since I found out about it. The seafood barbecue facility is right next to the market, with a roof to protect you from rain. There are clean toilets nearby too. It's a good idea to pay the entrance fee at the barbecue facility first to secure a seat. Each person gets 150 grams of meat! We bought Toro, shucked oysters, scallops, shrimp, turban shells, and clams at the market. We quickly started barbecuing with the charcoal they provided. They also gave us sauce, salt, soy sauce, tongs, and paper plates. The food was delicious, especially the oysters and shrimp. My loved one was in heaven eating the Toro she had been looking forward to. It was worth resisting the temptation to eat elsewhere for a week. The variety of seafood available may change depending on the store and the season, so it's worth checking out. Prices vary by store, but they usually give discounts. We bought some shrimp, tarako, anglerfish for hot pot, and sea urchin as souvenirs. Most items were around 1000 yen per serving. They gave us a deal on the sea urchin. Next time, I want to try their tempura too. Thank you for the delicious meal!

I went to Izumisano Gyokyo Blue Sky Market to buy ingredients for a seafood BBQ. I had heard about it on TV before, but this was my first visit. It's conveniently located near Izumisano Kita IC, so it's quite close from Osaka. When I arrived around noon, the parking lot was already about 80% full. The market was also quite crowded, showing how popular it is. I spent about an hour shopping. I bought various seafood such as shrimp for sashimi, Pacific saury, dried squid, clams, monkfish, and mentaiko. I also bought some light snacks like scallop rice for 250 yen and blowfish tempura for 500 yen. I enjoyed them by the harbor behind the market, feeling the sea breeze. All the seafood was incredibly fresh, and the BBQ was a great success. It was a very fulfilling holiday. I would like to continue using this market in the future. Thank you for the delicious meal.

It was a perfect day for shooting at "KIX", got off at Rinku Station and walked to the market. Arrived in the rain. Tried to get "Gatcho Karaage" but it was sold out. Bought 3 sets of "Fly" for ¥1000. Got the last few sets thanks to the shop owner. At home, the "Fly" became the main dish on the table and it was a temporary moment of 3150 yen with U-chan. I want to go back again.

This spring, I really wanted to eat mantis shrimp. I crave it every year around this time. When I was a child, I used to eat it a lot in my mother's hometown, Okayama. I don't like raw fish, so I can't go to expensive sushi restaurants. I searched in department stores, the old Komagawa shopping street where they used to sell it, but couldn't find it. When it comes to mantis shrimp, it's known in the Kansai region, specifically in Izumisano, Osaka. So I decided to go there. It was my first time taking the train to Izumisano fishing port, which was about a 20-minute walk from the station. It was far away. I walked around the market but couldn't find any. I asked around and found out that "they don't go fishing on Sundays." I should have checked before coming. As I walked, I was distracted by swordfish and swimming crabs. I bought some fried gatcho. What did I come here for? On the way back to the station, I opened the bag, nibbled on the gatcho, and made my way home. Gatcho is expensive.
