"Sapporo Nijo Fish Market" is said to have been established in the early Meiji period (1868-1912) when fishermen from Ishikari Beach started selling fresh fish. Today, the market is home to not only fresh fish stores but also fruit and vegetable stores, taverns, etc., and is loved not only by tourists but also by locals as the kitchen of Sapporo citizens.
Sapporo Nijo Fish Market is lined with about 20 fresh fish markets, where fresh seafood purchased on the day is lined up on the shelves as if it were a treasury of seafood. The market offers a wide variety of Hokkaido seafood, such as crabs, Hokke, scallops, dried fish, and processed seafood products. In addition, the fruit and vegetable store offers a variety of Hokkaido's specialties, such as melons and fruits grown in the northern lands, which, like marine products, are often valued as gifts.
Many restaurants are available in the market. Many of the restaurants offer sushi, Kaisen-Don（seafood rice bowls ), grilled fish, and other seafood tastes. The eat-in corner attached to some of the fresh fish stores is recommended for those who want to have a bite to eat. If you want to enjoy seafood with alcohol, go to "Noren Yokocho" (A street lined with small restaurants). There are stores where you can have a little drink so that you can enjoy seafood and alcohol at the same.
