An Early-Morning Trip to Tsukiji

tsukiji-redtentacles.jpg

Tien Mao visited Japan earlier this year and just posted photos from an early-morning trip to Tsukiji Fish Market, the world's largest wholesale seafood market, where millions of dollars and tons of fish pass through in the early morning six days a week. If you love food, it's definitely one of the places you have to see when you visit Tokyo. I don't know when I'll be there next, but I do know these red tentacles are making me really hungry.

Related: Rion Nakaya also has a lovely set from Tsukiji, taken two years ago. For more market scenes, check out her photographs from Bilbao's Riverside Meat Market and Fish Vendors.

For an audio postcard from the Tsukiji fish market auction, check out this clip from Living on Earth (public radio's environmental issues program).

What a great photo.
