Tsukiji is the big fish market in Tokyo. All kinds of edible things from the sea. Definitely worth a visit if you can get there. There are incredible numbers of species and cuts of fish. The big auction starts early - about 3:00 in the morning. And the activity is amazing. Here, Roy sorts threw the Octopus (Tako) for his dinner.
By the way, check out the new clock in the sidebar on my blog. Pull down the menu with your mouse and you can find the time in a number of interesting places where I hang out. Thanks to Erica

Erica: Octopuses belong to the phylum Mollusca which includes snails, clams and chitons. Their closest relatives are the chambered nautilus, cuttlefish and squids. They are not fish, but they are sold at the Tsukiji Market.
Anyway, you should see some of the other stuff... It definitely doesn't look like fish.
