Sapporo Fish Market Vendor Scaling Salmon at Dawn
Soft, diffused morning light falls through a heavy canvas canopy, illuminating a fish market vendor in Sapporo as he scales a large salmon. The worker wears a thick winter coat and rubber boots, standing over a bed of crushed ice where silver fish scales scatter across the damp surface. Behind him, layers of market stalls recede into the distance, filled with other vendors and customers bundled in warm clothing. Red and blue plastic crates stack against wooden tables, their surfaces glistening with moisture from the melting ice. The air appears thick with the cold of deep winter, visible in the steam rising faintly from the fresh catch and the frost forming on the edges of the awnings. A reflection of the gray sky glimmers on a puddle of water between the vendor's boots.
