Where Tokyo, Japan
When 1994
Photographer James L. Stanfield

"Longer than a man and weighing from 90 to 450 kilograms each, hundreds of tuna arrive in Japan by cargo jet every day. So voracious is the Japanese appetite for fish that even the swordfish caught by a tourist off the coast of Florida is more likely these days to end up frozen in Tsukiji than stuffed on the fisherman's wall."

—From "Tsukiji: The Great Tokyo Fish Market," National Geographic magazine, November 1995
