Wakayama Marina City, a resort complex floating on the sea in Wakayama Prefecture, is home to various facilities such as theme parks, hot springs, and hotels. “Kuroshio Market" is a gourmet spot where you can buy and taste fresh seafood from all over Japan and the local area.

In addition to seasonal fresh fish and live fish, the sales corner offers a wide selection of dried fish and Wakayama's local specialties and products. Among them, "Oomiya", which sells tuna landed at Katsuura Port and Kushimoto Port, holds a daily "tuna dissection show" in which a whole fresh seasonal tuna is purchased and cut right in front of the customer. The tuna is then sold separately by part, such as large fatty tuna, medium fatty tuna, and lean tuna, and can also be enjoyed on the spot as a bowl of rice or sushi.

The food court offers a wide variety of menu items such as sushi, ramen, seafood rice bowls, tempura, etc. The Japanese restaurant on the second floor and the "Barbecue Terrace", where customers can grill and enjoy foods purchased at the "Tsurukame Fresh Fish Store", which offers a variety of meat and vegetables as well as seafood, are also popular.
