We went to the fish market in Hatchenohe (I am not sure on the spelling of that) anyways… Hatch is a pretty big town about 30 min. away. They have a large very reasonably prices home furnishings store we go to, a Toys R Us and two KFC’s… so they have stuff… including stinky, slimey, fishey things… I felt like I smelled like fish for two days after this…
You’ll notice the clams and fish, octopus legs… some of the venders you point to which leg you want on an octopus and they go lob it off and wrap it up… uggg… I have opened my mind to eating fish… but not like this, I mean heck if somebody wrapped up a cow leg I couldn’t eat that either…
A box of rays that I almost stepped in while I was busy surveying the least stinky route to take… thank goodness Derick caught me at the last second… I think I would have died…
We got there pretty early and they were still setting out their goods.. this guy was throwing curled up crabs into icy water… I assumed they were dead and leaned in for a closer look, this crab is not dead and as soon as he gets in the water springs to life and tries to escape… right at my face… I literally screamed bloody murder in the fish market and every person in there looked at me and started laughing… I peed my pants a little.
Whole octopus for only 1000 yen ($10.00)… what a deal… I passed
Lots of stuff that stunk
Lots of really really big crabs… which just look like spiders on crack to me and give me panic attacks.
When you have to bring the fish out on a dolly don’t you think that means its too big?? Do people actually buy the whole thing, why don’t they just cut it up… it was staring at me…
There was a room at the fish market where they were having a bonsai tree show (this was much more interesting to me) and all of the bonsai trees in the show were azaleas!!! Super cool, these trees were ancient, probably hundreds of years old.
This is was the other part that I especially enjoyed… there was a baked goods sections with all of these packages of delicious deserts and snacks, and on the packages were little Tupperware containers of samples (YES!!!) it was going very well until I ate one cracker that started off sweet and delicious and then took a horrible turn to salty and fishy and I looked at the package… it was a sweet cracker covered in dried pieces of s quid.. the dried squid got all stuck in my teeth, I almost died… the second time that day…

Ew. Gross. Nasty. Disgusting. And I like fish, some fish anyway, just not fish that still look like fish. Those pictures sent shivers up my spine.
THat big ole' fish on the trolly looked good! Was that TUNA!? Jealous!
when I saw the title for your post I said, "oh, no, this is going to be disgusting!" Sure enough. . . it was. Your hair looks so cute in your pictures!! I miss you!
Did you try the squid-ink cake? I liked it, and I am a picky person who is very scared of anything with tentacles.
How in the world were you convinced to go to a fish market?? Stepping on the rays might have been a little like the deer...
