正式名称は「明石市公設卸売市場水産部分場」。藩政時代から港に魚市場があったともいわれます。水揚げしたばかりの魚が11時半から始まる競りに持ち込まれ、新鮮な“明石の昼網”として阪神間などで重宝されています。
35.Day-time fish and the auction
This facility is formally named “Akashi City Public Wholesale Market Branch of Department of Fisheries”. They say that there has been the fish market at the port since the Edo period. Fish caught in the morning are brought here for auction that starts at eleven thirty a.m. These are so fresh that people including customers in Osaka and Kobe love them. They call them “the day-time fish of Akashi”.
