Fish market

We went to the Tokyo fish market this morning. I had wanted to go when I’ve been over here in the past, but never had the chance. It was quite an experience. Very, very hectic — and huge. It took a few videos to try to capture the chaos, but they are just too chaotic to really make out what is going on anywhere. There are guys racing around on these little motorized carts, basically just a pallet with a steering wheel and motor. The isles are tiny and crowded and the carts come from every direction. We finally weaved our way through the carts and trucks and made it into the actual market itself. You could pretty much get anything you would ever want either still alive or recently dead. That’s all assuming that anything you would ever want comes from the sea.

Seeing all of that fish really worked up an appetite. So we got breakfast at the market: fresh sushi! The sea eel was the best I’ve ever had. It was a fun morning and Vada did great through the rain, cold, smells, running, and eating.
