The Tsukiji Fish Market


On Thursday, I got up at 4:30 am so I could go down and watch the tuna auction at the fish market. It was a huge place where wholesale buyers could go in Japan to buy fish and other local goods. In the picture, the man wearing light blue is auctioning off a tuna lot. After the auction, the buyers inpected the fish quality. It was exciting to see all the buying and selling.

Ms. Merk,
Miles got to practice saying the word, "fish," when we looked at your picture. He did it! Those were BIG fish!
