After sleeping 4 hours last night we woke up to go to the tsukiji fish market.

My ankle was still sore so I put on my ankle brace and put another tensor wrap around it and took some ibuprofen and headed out for the subway station and made our way to the fish market.

We weren’t quite sure where to go exactly so we thought we’d go ahead and wing it.

We arrived at the station and decided we’d ask someone for help.

We stopped this group of 4 in the station, “do you speak English?”

Then one replied, “we are from Hong Kong.” in Chinese! So we asked them in Chinese where the fish market was and they said they were going to it too so we just followed behind them.

They stopped to look at something and we continued on. Not quite sure where to go. Eventually we arrived at this busy market where everything was laid about for display. It was all fish and seafood!

The little trucks were motoring around everywhere and if you didn’t pay attention you could probably get run over.

There were huge tunas being sliced up into smaller pieces. The tubas mustve weighed near 80lbs. They were the size of a small child!

Carrie and I watched as a team sliced through a large piece of tuna. They cut it into 4 large pieces lengthways.

Sorry these photos are not that good representation of the market. Check out the gallery for better photos.
