Between the period of September to March, the lobster fishing season opens in the Hyuga Sea, and many lobsters are caught. Freshly caught lobster smells of the sea and has a rich flavour. We recommend such simple dishes as raw lobster, salted roasted lobster, and miso soup with lobster.

The Round Greeneyes (Mehikari) Fish habituates the depths of the Hyuga Sea. It is a fish with eyes that shine emerald green.

The pale white flesh of the fish can be enjoyed in such cuisine as deep-fried dishes, in which the bones of the fish can also be eaten.

Fresh fish caught in the Hyuga Sea and then dried, are packed full of essential fatty acids and a rich flavour. Dried fish are a very popular item at the Kitaura Roadside Stop (Michi no Eki Kitaura)

The fisheries industry prospers in Kitaura, which faces the Hyuga Sea. Among marine products caught in the area, "Kitaura Sea horse mackerel", "Himuka-hon mackerel", and "Miyazaki amberjack" have been recognised under the "Miyazaki Fish Brand", and are highly regarded.
