AdvertisementOver the past three decades, the number of fish vendo rs and sellers at Tsukiji has dropped by nearly half.
In the Nikkei, former Tsukiji fish trader Naoto Nakamura explained that fisherman are now apparently selling their best fish to supermarkets, who can guarantee better prices.
As Tokyo Cheapo explains, the new fish market won’t charge admission, but visitors can no longer purchase fish directly from the vendo rs.
