The first time I went to Tokyo’s Tsukiji Fish Market Tokyo, it was the year 2000. I woke up at 5 am and took the subway. It was still dark out, and I remember thinking you would have to be insane to get up this early to go look at a bunch of dead fish. Nevertheless, everybody told me, “You have to see it, you have to go.” So, I did.
When I got to Tsukiji-Shijo station, the sun was just peeking over the horizon and the sky was a dusky blue-gray. At the entrance of the tsukiji fish market, a pile of decapitated tuna heads sat discarded on the ground. Inside, the sights were even more macabre: shallow trays of eels in crimson pools of blood; styrofoam boxes lined with limp, translucent squid; the spikey snouts of swordfish sticking out from metal bins. As I turned to snap a photo of some clams, a forklift piled high with giant fins nearly ran me down. The air smelled exactly as you would expect: cold, sharp, and thick with brine, the metallic tinge of iron underneath it all.
