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.
A box of striped beak-perch, ishidai, Oplegnathus fasciatus, on display at a middleman's stand in the Great Tsukiji wholesale fish market in Tokyo, Japan. Ishidai are very good food fish and they are popular with anglers too. Besides the wild catch they are also farm raised. Their strong coalesced teeth are ideal for cracking open the shells of barnacles and gastropods. Photographed in December 1988.
