Fish Carcasses

On our first morning in Tokyo, plasticmom, Adam and I were all jet lagged so we got up early in the morning and trekked over to Tsukiji Wholesale Fish Market. I'd been reading Sushi Economy so I was really interested in seeing giant tuna carcasses. The place was utter chaos with people speeding around in these little bitty trucks, others in bicycles and everyone in big rubber wellies since these was fishy water everywhere. I thought we were going to get run over at every turn, but fortunately, we escaped bodily harm. We capped off our morning tour with a delicious sushi breakfast at Daiwa Sushi right in the market.

Here are some of the many photos Adam took at the market.

Little Trucks: very fast and agile
