Tsukiji is the biggest wholesale fish market in the world.

It is in the heart of Tokyo.

I was looking for whale.

I would have eaten it to.

But all the tasty stuff goes early before the sun comes up.

5.30am is the advised time to get there for the action of the Tuna auctions.

Only tourists go to see it. Locals don’t bother. But Tourists have in recent times been banned. Something to do with poor hygiene.

It’s just a fish. A large one yes. But Japanese are as familiar with Fish as we are with beef. We don’t go to auctions of beef for fun.

Managed to get out of bed around midday. After three changes on the subway I was there by 2.30pm.

Not much left.

But I had to buy something.

Still don’t know what to do with it.
