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.

sealord > There are a large number of retail shops in the environs of the Tsukiji wholesale fish market.  Some of these shops sell seafood and others sell equipment required in the fish trade.  This retailer displays salted salmon (sake).  At the time I wrote down the identification as chum salmon, Oncorhynchus keta, but I can no longer verify this.  Salted salmon is popular during the New Year holidays.  Photographed in December 1990.
