This is the Tokyo Metropolitan Central Wholesale Market better known as Tsukiji Fish Market. It's the biggest wholesale fish and seafood market in the world.
Fish(es) arrive as early as 3 am from all around the world and a high-paced, no frills auction takes place around 5 am.
By the way, the reason I am doing the whole fish(es) thing is because Brooke was kind enough to enlighten me that saying fishes is okay when one is talking about multiple types of fish.
Who the heck's Brooke? No, that's not yet another nickname for Gabe. Don't jump ahead of the storyteller, folks.
Here's some tuna . . .
. . . and some tuna steaks. Said it before, will say it again, "yummy in my tummy!"
Adam is more than prepared to start eating.
The knife needed to slice and dice tuna might as well be a katana for all intents and purposes.

Those Tuna steaks are the prime cut. You can tell because they are displayed under glass and, unlike everything else at the market, had no price tag. If you have to ask the price, you can't afford it.
That place was really neat. Unfortunately we missed the main show: the Auction, but apparently that starts at like 4:00am. But it was fun wandering around all the stalls, and most all the workers were real nice. They didn't seem to mind all the tourists hanging out there, as long as we didn't get in the way.
The shrimp omelet type thing we ate at the nearby stall was awesome!
Seafood can't get any fresher unless you eat it on the boat.
