The top quality fish in the world ends up in the "better" sushi cities. The quality in Calgary isn't bad, but it's not outstanding either.
Is there one central fish market where fish is auctioned?

I saw an amazing flower auction in Amsterdam, where flowers are bid for, and sent all around the world.

I imagine salmon is not hard to get, but tuna could be more scarce.
