魚市場

1. Origins, structure, and basic meaning

• Structure: 魚市場（うおいちば） combines 魚 and 市場 and means a fish market.
• Basic usage: It names a trading location; the examples show its early-morning activity and a purchase made while traveling.

2. Common pitfalls and similar expressions

• Reading the compound
  • This entry is read うおいちば. Even though it contains the same characters as 市場（しじょう）, a trading sector, the complete word has its own reading.
• What is traded there
  • In the second example, the traveler buys 貝 at the market. Understand 魚市場 as a place trading seafood rather than restricting it to a narrow reading of the character for fish.
