The Market

Today after pet shopping with Bryan, Michael took me to a near by beach to have sashimi. We went down by the docks to a fish market. The place is full of buckets and bins with life fish in them. You can buy anything that is in the sea there. I saw octopus, squid, all sorts of fish big and small, and my favorite, "sea penis". You walk through the fish mall and pick out your fish or whatever. Then, they take your fish and clean it and chop it up. Right behind the fish mall there are several restaurants. The cut up fish is delivered to the restaurant where you also get many side dishes including, "rest of fish" soup, for a small fee. The rest of fish soup is the head and tail that they boil in spicy sauce. No part goes to waste. The last picture (bottom right) is of Michaels family. He is very proud of them. The picture is of Michael, Christy (his wife), Jenny (two years old) and Bryan (eight years old). In the foreground of the picture you can see the plate of raw fish.
