Fish Market



Somehow I got up at 4 a.m. today so that I could experience the Tokyo fish market. The pictures included are especially for my nephews, Sam, Theo, and Finnegan, and for the CVE students because there is nothing cooler that squishy, gross stuff or giant frozen tuna. We dodged carts as the workers zoomed through the market, preparing for the day's activities. Each of the tuna was sliced near the tail to check for quality before it was auctioned off around
5:30 a.m.

Goodness...I can smell the atmosphere! Nothing like an early morning wake-up at a fish market!!! 1). Swiss movement travel alarm clock...$15.00; 2). 1 round trip ticket on the Tokyo subway...500 yen; 3).Experiencing firsthand the sights, smells and yes, the salmon itself, of a Japanese seafood auction AND being tech savvy enough to digitally photograph the event so as to prove to everyone that you were actually there...PRICELESS!!!!

Girl, I think it's safe to check that one off your list of things to do before you turn 40! :)

Too fun, Mary!

Best wishes..CJB

I must lead a very sheltered life...I never knew tuna (minus the tail) could be sooo big! How is tuna compared to salmon for you?
