Nijō Fish Market
Buy a bowl of rice and select your own sashimi toppings, gawk at the fresh delicacies (some more delicate than others!), or sit down at a shop in Nijō Fish Market, one of Hokkaidō's best. Get there early for the freshest selections and the most variety; things close up by 18:00 and individual restaurants have their own hours. Sea urchin and salmon roe are favourites; as is Hokkaidō's version of 'Mother and Child' (Oyakodon), a bowl of rice topped with salmon and roe.

Asa-ichi
The morning market is the place for fresh fish. Seafood donburi (a bowl of rice with toppings) is a local favourite. If you prefer to eat your seafood in a restaurant, see if one will whip up a Hakodate version of oyakodon; meaning 'mother and child donburi', it's usually made with chicken and egg in the rest of Japan; in Hokkaidō it's made with salmon and its roe.

Hakodate Asa-ichi
Located just to the right of JR Hakodate Station, this market is a great place for hungry seafood lovers. Like tightly packed ammo, freshly caught squid glisten in ice-stuffed Styrofoam. Most of the live commerce is over by 8am, but you can still pick up snacks and souvenirs during the closing hours.
