Tokyo Fish Market

Almost two weeks ago at this point, I had the chance to go to the Tokyo Fish Market. To get there and see the good stuff, my friends and I awoke at 4:45am and left by 5am.

Apparently, if you arrive close to 4am, you can see a fish auction, but we did not get there in time for this.

We did however, see tons and tons of fish.

Here some amazing looking scallops.

Here's the mornings fish process...

Here's a Tuna getting its head cut off.
Now for some fine cleaning of the insides...
Doesn't this look delicious.Then into my sashimi and rice bowl. At some point during our fish viewing, Ben and I saw Ed Norton. He was in Japan for the opening of the Hulk.

This turned out to be quite a long day. Next on the agenda was a 10 am tour of the imperial palace. Worst Palace Ever!
