「大洗あんこう祭」と銘打ってますが、大洗が舞台となったアニメ『ガールズ＆パンツァー』略してガルパンファンが多く集う祭になっています。あまりに人が多く、あんこう汁に辿り着くのも大変です。2016年はなんと13万人もの来場者を集めたそうです。渋滞注意。

茨城縣東茨城郡大洗町大洗鮟鱇魚祭裡面，可以看到很多以鮟鱇魚弄出來的菜式，味道非常好，香氣充滿在整個會場裡。

テレビアニメ「ガールズ&パンツァー」の舞台となったことから、出演した声優さんのトークショーなどのコラボイベントも開催されるため、ガルパン好きなら一度行く価値はあると思います。
もちろんガルパンを知らない方でも、あんこうを堪能できるので行く価値ありです。

１１月に茨城大洗マリンタワーで、名産の冬の味覚のアンコウを味わえるお祭りです。大きなアンコウの吊るし切りなども見て楽しめますが、お目当ては何と言っても限定のアンコウ鍋。これを目当てにたくさんの人で賑わっています。早めに行ったつもりでしたが、道中はかなりの渋滞で駐車場に入るのにもかなり時間がかかりました。心配していたアンコウ鍋もなんとか食べることができて満足でした。

茨城縣的鮟鱇魚非常有名，油份充足、魚味香濃的燉鮟鱇魚是當地美食，這個大型的鮟鱇魚祭更有不同老店前來擺檔，即場製作各式的鮟鱇魚美食。

あんこうの吊るし切りの実演を見たり、あんこうを楽しめるイベントです。アニメとコラボレーションするようになってからとてつもなく混雑し、渋滞必至となってしまいました。町興しには一躍買っているのでしょうね。

さすが本場で食べるアンコウは美味しいですね。ぷりぷりのゼラチン質の身や皮の部分も、もちろんあん肝も最高です。また今年も行きたいです。
