noun
inshore catch; shorefish
Refers to fish or seafood caught in coastal waters, as opposed to deep-sea or imported products. Often used in markets or restaurant menus to emphasize freshness and local origin.

近海物は値段が手頃で新
Inshore catches are reasonably priced and fresh.
Means local produce or locally caught fish, often overlapping with 近海物 but can include non-seafood items.
Compound of 近海 (coastal waters) + 物 (thing, product). The exact historical derivation is uncertain, but the word is transparently formed from these elements.
