We managed to avoid the "market police" and slipped into the area where they were auctioning the fresh tuna. Eventually we were "ushered" into the Frozen Tuna Auction which was equally amazing. It's not unheard of for a single tuna to fetch an incredible 6 million pounds at auction.
While the auctioneer is yelling and shouting taking bids potential buyers walk between the rows of fish. They carry picks and torches (it's still quite dark) and they spear the flesh to check on it's quality.
