With a scarcity of deep-sea fish in our world today, and fatty crabs and juicy lobsters becoming increasingly hard to come by, a stop at Tsukiji market when visiting Tokyo is definitely worth your while.
I could eat here every single day. Tsukiji Fish market is more than just fish. The food stalls have expanded to include Japan’s favourites like Wagyu beef and even the now very hyped, instagram-famous Japanese omelettes! Here, you will find all kinds of crab from Alaskan King to Snow, plus all the varieties of seafood that you can dream of: the freshest fish and crustaceans - a foodie’s dream!
While indulging your senses in this whirlwind of sight, smell and culture, make sure to take a mental photograph, immortalise the moment of being surrounded by the flavours of the sea.
Give aburi a chance
The recent trend of “torching” seafood (known as Aburi) has made many non-fish eaters change their minds about seafood. A friend of mine travelling with me who is not a fish person, enjoyed torched tuna belly called “o-toro “for three days!
