When talking about places where you can buy fresh fish in Japan, you'll commonly hear the term 魚屋 (sakana-ya). This word literally combines 魚 (sakana), meaning fish, and 屋 (ya), which indicates a shop or store. So, it directly translates to 'fish shop' or 'fishmonger'. While supermarkets also sell fish, a 魚屋 specifically refers to a dedicated fish store that often specializes in a wider variety and fresher catches.
趣味小知识
The '屋' (ya) suffix is common in Japanese for indicating a shop or a person who sells something, like 'パン屋' (pan-ya, bakery/baker) or '本屋' (hon-ya, bookstore/bookseller).
如何使用
When referring to a person who sells fish, you can say 魚屋さん (sakana-ya-san), adding the honorific -san. When referring to the shop, you can just use 魚屋 (sakana-ya).
A common mistake is confusing 魚屋 (sakana-ya) with 魚屋さん (sakana-ya-san). Remember, the -san makes it a person, while without it, it usually refers to the shop or the general occupation.
词源
From '魚' (sakana, fish) and '屋' (ya, shop/dealer).
原始含义： Fish shop/dealer.
