We went to the Fish Market this morning at 4:30 a.m. I had been warned that it was like the video game Frogger. They were dead on. The boxes of fish are transported my these little motorized mini-trucks and they are quick. And don't really care for tourists. As you can see, the fish are huge. And mostly dead. The big tuna (I think they're tuna) are frozen -- and that's what you see lined up in rows and are moved around by the men with big hooks. I say men because I didn't see any women there with hooks. They hold an auction in a large warehouse onsite. Auctions are great. Don't worry, I didn't buy a big, dead, frozen fish. Thought about it, but they are expensive.
After the auction we went to the market in the same complex where many of those who bought the big, dead fish chop them up and sell them -- along with other sea things like clams, prawns, octopus, and what I think were snakes. Water snakes. Enjoy the pictures

Brian wants you to bring him home some eel--I'm sure he won't ask himself, but he really wants it!
