Fish Market

food · markets · ocean · culture

Fresh from the water. Fish markets connect fishermen who catch the fish to people who want to buy them, making sure seafood gets to dinner tables as fresh as possible.

Two types of trading. Some fish markets are wholesale, where big sellers buy huge amounts from fishermen, while others are retail where regular people shop for dinner like at any grocery store.

Smells and sounds. Fish markets are lively, busy places filled with vendors calling out their catches, ice keeping everything cold, and the salty ocean smell that tells you fresh seafood is nearby.

More than just fish. Many fish markets also sell street food like fish soup, grilled seafood, and other meals cooked right there, so people can eat fresh seafood while they shop.

Found everywhere. You'll find fish markets in fishing towns and big cities all around the world, from Tokyo's Tsukiji Market to the Pike Place Market in Seattle.
