Shopping Fresh: The Top Food Markets in the World

Tsukiji Fish Market – Tokyo, Japan

The Tsukiji Fish Market is the largest fresh fish market in the world, and is a must-see destination if you’re spending time in Tokyo. There are plenty of options, even if you’re not a seafood person.

For the diehard seafood fan, get there at 3:30 a.m. to register to be one of the select few audience members at the renowned tuna auctions. If you love seafood but don’t love waking up that early, get there around 9 a.m. to see market business winding down, and to sample some of the freshest sushi you’ve ever had in your life.

If you like the market experience but the overwhelming smell of fish turns you off, focus on the outer areas of the market, where vendors sell specialty items like wasabi roots, and sushi-making paraphernalia. It’s closed Sunday and often Wednesday.
