Fresh fish markets in Hong Kong where sushi restaurants source their daily ingredients.
Behind great sushi is great fish. Hong Kong's top restaurants source from Tokyo's Toyosu market and local wholesale channels — and curious diners can understand the supply chain.
⚡ Quick Navigation
🐟 The Toyosu Connection
The finest counters import directly from Tokyo's Toyosu market (successor to the famous Tsukiji), with fish hand-picked in the morning and flown to Hong Kong the same day. Sushi Saito and Sushi Shikon are known for this daily air-freighted sourcing.
🏪 Local Channels
Locally, restaurants and trade buyers use wholesale seafood markets such as the Western Wholesale Food Market and specialist importers. Some top chefs also work with local suppliers — Sushi Zinc collaborates with respected local seafood supplier Davey Wong for select ingredients.
🛒 For Home Buyers
💡 Key Point: Home cooks can't access wholesale or Toyosu directly, but Japanese supermarkets and seafood specialists stock sushi-grade fish sourced through similar import channels. Always confirm sashimi-grade and proper cold handling.
⭐ Pro Tip: The "daily Toyosu" sourcing that defines top counters isn't available to home cooks — but Japanese supermarkets and dedicated seafood specialists tap similar import channels for sashimi-grade fish you can trust.
