Japan Picture Installement: Tsukiji

Posted on May 19, 2006 Under Travel

What an amazing experience, a picture is worth 1000 words. Tsukiji is the largest fish market in the world handling more than 2000 tons of more than 450 types of seafood. I was told today 1/6th of the world’s fish passes through this market before it goes around the world every single day. As promised here are a whole bunch of pictures after the jump– but be warned there is lots of fish blood, guts, and fairly gross stuff– all part of the beautiful process.
