"We don't just sell fish. We source relationships — with fishermen, with farmers, with the ocean itself."
Jessy and Sam opened Tsukiji Fish Market Chicago with one obsession: bringing restaurant-quality, market-fresh seafood to Chicago families, chefs, and food lovers who refuse to compromise on quality.
Named in honor of Tokyo's legendary Tsukiji Market — long the gold standard of global fish markets — their Chicago location carries that same spirit of excellence. Every fish, every shellfish, every piece of fresh-cut sashimi-grade tuna comes with provenance and care.
Jessy and Sam are on the floor daily. They know their suppliers by name. They know their customers by order. That's not a business model — it's a lifestyle built around the table.
Market-fresh whole fish, scaled and cleaned to order. From salmon and sea bass to branzino and red snapper — sourced fresh, never compromised.
Live lobsters, king crab, snow crab, shrimp, clams, mussels, and oysters — the full shellfish spectrum for the serious seafood lover.
Sushi and sashimi-grade tuna, salmon, and yellowtail — precision-cut for the chef and the home cook who demand restaurant quality at home.
Live lobsters and crabs available for selection — as fresh as it gets. Pick yours, and it's prepared to order.
Marinated fish, pre-seasoned fillets, and chef-curated ready-to-cook selections for weeknight meals that feel like a restaurant.
Supplying restaurants, caterers, and private events across the Chicago area. Call ahead for bulk orders and corporate event sourcing.
"The freshness here is unlike anything else in Chicago. Jessy and Sam know their product like no one else."
— Regular Customer
Inventory changes daily based on what's freshest. These are the market staples you can count on finding any time you visit.
Visit the Market →Jessy is the heartbeat of the market floor — greeting regulars by name, guiding first-time customers through the selection, and ensuring every transaction ends with the customer knowing exactly how to prepare what they've purchased. Her hospitality is the market's signature.
Sam is the obsessive behind the quality — the one who drives the relationships with fishermen, reviews the provenance of every delivery, and refuses to stock anything that doesn't meet the Tsukiji standard. If Sam approved it, it's excellent.
Whether you're cooking for two or planning a seafood feast for fifty, Tsukiji Fish Market Chicago has what you need — fresh, premium, and sourced with integrity.
