Seafood is the central reason to visit Tokyo Fish Market.

Beyond the seafood case, Tokyo Fish Market stocks Japanese goods alongside fresh Asian vegetables, noodles, spices, and other pantry and freezer staples. Rice balls and bento boxes make the market a convenient Berkeley lunch stop, while individual portions can suit someone eating alone or sampling something new.
