Yesterday morning we started off the day wandering through the Tsukiji ("skee-gee") fish market in Tokyo. Every morning, the fishermen come in from the water to the back of the huge structure, unload their catches, and then the various stall vendors slice, dice, and sell their fish to the city at large. There's a huge tuna auction every morning at 6am, and all of Tokyo's restaurants buy here. It was enormous, and there were some really cool fish. I have also never, ever seen fish that large... the tuna were like 6' in length. And you better believe everything is so fresh that the place didn't even smell fishy.
