Tsukiji Fish Market Tokyo

Once the alarm went off at 4:15am I bounded out of bed to catch the first train at 4:57am.
Arrived 6:10am at the Tsukiji Fish Market just after the auction. This is a working, fast paced, extremely busy, amazing place. Tourist areas are restricted.
The huge tuna have been flash frozen. Seemed like thousands of them covered the floor.
Once the auction ended the fish are distributed, it takes 2 men to lift the fish.
I have no idea of the prices but they don't come cheaply.
