Tomari Iyumachi Fish Market

This guide to Tomari Iyumachi Fish Market in Okinawa starts at the glass-walled cutting room, where a whole tuna becomes a stack of ruby loins in minutes. It traces the market's start in 2005 inside Tomari's working fishing port, built to get the catch onto plates fast, and the roughly two dozen wholesale stalls that move tons of seafood before closing each day. You'll hear what fills the counters beyond the tuna, from parrotfish and snapper to coils of mozuku seaweed pulled from Okinawa's reefs. Stand at the glass and watch the stalls sell down to nothing by afternoon.
