Best quote goes to: "Traders complained that tourists had been “hugging” huge tuna in poses for photos, while others had licked fish".

I never did get to see this, but then I couldnt quite stomach getting up at 4.30am to look at fish. A shame though, the market is an institution.

Damn those fish huggers!

The holidays are currently happening in Japan finishing with Golden Week (the busiest of them all) at the beginning of May hence why the ban is probably happening now.
