fish markets

Where catch sells

Fish markets are places where fish and seafood are sold, either wholesale to restaurants and retailers or directly to consumers.

Major fish markets like Tokyo's Tsukiji or Seattle's Pike Place become tourist attractions and cultural landmarks.

The term also describes the commercial trading of seafood more broadly: The fish market opens before dawn.
