   Harvard anthropologist Prof. Theodore Bestor, author of Tsukiji: The Fish Market at the Center of the World, (University of California Press, 2004) explained why Japan and seafood are so culturally interwoven."No matter where one lives in this island nation, the sea is no farther that 250 kilometers away," said Bestor, adding that Tokyo's massive seafood market, Tsukiji is 10 times larger than the fabled Fulton Fish Market in New York and is surrounded by retail seafood markets and stalls.
   
   Bestor noted, "Japan has four distinct seasons that influence the varieties of seafood and seafood dishes available throughout the year."He added that Japanese cuisine - including seafood -- offers surprising combinations of both flavor and textures.
