PrintTokyo's Tsukiji Fish Market and Its Fish
June's Vanity Fair includes a great feature by Nick Tosches on Tokyo's Tsukiji Fish Market, its fish, and beyond to New York's most expensive restaurant, Masa. Tsukiji is the largest in the world fish market, moving more than 2,000 tons of seafood a day. New York's Fulton Fish Market, the second-largest fish market in the world, moves only 115 tons a year, an average of less than half a ton each working day. Worth reading all the way through, especially if you're a sushi lover.
