La Nueva Viga is the biggest fish market in Latin America and a treasure trove of exotic seafood. CCTV America’s John Holman reports.
La Nueva Viga in Mexico City is the biggest fish market in Latin America. Worldwide it’s second only to the Tsukiji Market in Tokyo.
Market head honcho Roberto Gutierrez says the secret of La Nueva Viga’s growth lies in Mexico’s bountiful oceans.
The market situated in the capital is 400 kilometers from the nearest coast. It is a race against time to get fish from the sea to the stall.
