I enjoy the freedom of seafood at the seafood market in Okinawa

To understand a city, the simplest way is actually to visit the local food market. In Nago, I went to the Nago Fishing Port, and naturally, I did the same in Naha. Naha actually has two markets, one is the Naha Fishing Port, and the other is the First Makishi Public Market. ✅ Market Introduction: ⭕️ Naha Tomari Port is right by the dock, not as nice as Makishi Public, more like a local food market for residents. ⭕️ Makishi Public is right next to Kokusai Dori, overall much cleaner and tidier, more like a large fresh supermarket. ⭕️ In terms of price, the two markets are not much different, but Makishi Public has a wider variety and larger scale than Tomari Port. ⭕️ Both markets have seafood stalls that offer processing services, and the stalls have Chinese-speaking staff, so no worries about language barriers. ⭕️ For processing, whether it's sashimi or Chinese-style stir-fry, everything can be arranged, giving a feeling like you haven't traveled far. ⭕️ During the trip, the exchange rate fluctuated quite a bit, we didn't exchange too much Japanese yen, conveniently credit cards, WeChat, and Alipay were all accepted. ✅ Special Recommendations: ⭕️ In Japan, noctiluca and giant clams are edible, and in the market, you can also see porcupine fish and coconut crabs, like visiting an aquarium. ⭕️ At Tomari Port, we tried noctiluca, which are really big, half sashimi and half stir-fried with green onions, really delicious no matter how it's cooked. ⭕️ At Makishi office, we ordered a lobster, a geoduck, and a scallop for a total of 15,900 yen, about 750 RMB, which would cost at least double in China. ⭕️ The lobster was half raw and half boiled in soup, geoduck sashimi, and scallops with garlic, all extremely delicious because they were fresh. ⭕️ It is said that in China, giant clams that have been sitting in tanks have a special stench, so in the end, we didn't try them, but those interested might want to give it a shot.
