Often described as the greatest wholesale fish market in the world. Tsukiji Fish Market in downtown Tokyo sells a breathtaking variety of fish & shellfish. Tsukiji sells live fish and shellfish as well as the best possible quality of fresh and frozen seafood. Even though the Tsukiji fish market building dates from the 1930s the market is cleaned so thoroughly everyday that there is no fishy odour (TMA) at all. One can happily visit for many hours, spend the rest of the day in the same clothes, and no one will be aware of where you have been from the smell of your clothes or your shoes. The freshness and packaging of the seafood on display provides a valuable lesson for everyone in the global seafood industry.

Workmen hose the tail end of each tuna to partially thaw it and cut a section to expose the muscle so buyers can inspect the quality of the meat before the auction.
