| It seems that the buyers determine the freshness of the tunas by making a slice near the tail. |
|
 |
| Markings made on the tuna identifies the buyer. |
|
 |
| All through the morning, there is a long line of visitors waiting to enter the auction area. |
|
 |
| Security are posted to maintain order and ensure that the visitors do not get in the way of business being conducted. |
|
 |
| The line to visit the auction hall is long, but it moves fairly quickly. |
|
 |
| In the stalls adjacent to the auction hall, many other kinds of seafood are available. Here is a tub full of live eel. |
|
 |
| Freshly made unagi - roasted eel made right at the market. |
|
 |
| We bought some of these unagi as snack, and each piece is about US$4.00 |
|
 |
|
|
 |
| Various fresh shell fish on display. |
|
 |
| Giant shrimp, I think they are US$20 each! |
|

| Trays of sea urchin, one of the more expensive sushi ingredients. |

| Different cuts of tuna in the display case. |
|
 |
| Outside the market, trucks are lines up waiting to load the seafood to be delivered. |
