“Fish Truck Family Reunion” will be presented at the Japanese American National Museum’s Democracy Center, 100 N. Central Ave. in Little Tokyo, on Saturday, Oct. 25, from 2 to 3:30 p.m.

For over 40 years, Nikkei fish trucks delivered fresh seafood, rice, and other Japanese goods to homes across the Southland. They also provided a valuable community service by bringing a taste of home six days a week to Nikkei throughout the greater Los Angeles area.

This special event will feature testimonies from the families of half a dozen former fish truck operators, with rare photographs and home movies. Read more about fish truck history with Chelsea Shi-Chao Liu’s Discover Nikkei article, “Remembering the L.A. Retail Fish Association.”
