La Nueva Viga in Mexico City (ABC Rural)
It's the second largest fish market in the world, following Tokyo's famous Tsukiji Market. But unlike Japan's fish market, and others like the Sydney Fish Market, La Nueva Viga is located hundreds of kilometers from the coast.
The market is the largest in Latin America and based in Iztapalapa in Mexico's capital.
