Eels, live and slaughtered in front of us.. Squids, Very good priced Tuna sashimis 800yen is approx. S$10 only for that amount! And then the scallops in the bottom left are only 1000yen (SS$13) for easily a week's supply! Those crabs in the transparent plastic boxes are alive. Ben thinks they are soft shell crabs but i don't think so.. don't knw what they are..
Octopus, scallops again, sea urchins (which i didn't like coz of the stinky taste), lobsters, grilled eels at super duper prices, and fish flakes for sale. those used as toppings for takoyaki.
Our breakfast was at a sushi joint juz outside the fish market.. prices were pretty reasonable for such quality and attention by the sushi chef. In the middle photo from left: Fattiest Tuna (A delicacy probably costing much more than the S$6.50 i paid for it), Bonito (Damn good!), Scallops, Salmon, Japanese tiger prawn!
Benny had: Tuna, Crab flakes (REAL snow crab meat!!), Tamago (HUGE piece), Salmon, hotate (cooked and raw ones), and octopus and a bonito!
Costed me (2600yen.. approx. S$34) but well worth it.
Ben's portion costs: 1300yen... approx. S$17.
After the meal, we went browsing the streets of Tsukiji market.. Lots of dried foodstuff, vegies and fruits on sale.. Interestingly, we found the Wasabi plant that is grounded in authentic wasabi. Many of those we have in sushi restaurants are not 100% genuine as wasabi plant is very expensive. Thus, usually it's a flavouring that we are eating.
This shop specialises in sushi knives.. We saw a couple of such shops there... And their craftsmen will sharpen each knife only when a customer purchases them, to guarantee quality paper sliceable knives.
