The many buyers come into the market ready to cart things away in their refrigerated trucks.

The shellfish, I didn't know what half of them were, but they were shiny wet, slippery onyx, taupe and pearly white, florescent crimson, soft coral, sandy beigy and plentiful, plentiful, plentiful!

I couldn't take my eyes off the bins.

I took this shot for a friend of mine, Eliot. He loves to eat escargot, so, Eliot, I think these are snails.

Scallops, I believe. These are one of my favorites. As a native of New Jersey I say scaaaalops, in Maine they say scawlips. Either way, I love them!

Take a look at this crab!

I don't know what this woman's job was, but she looked important, and she seemed happy that we wanted her photograph.

If I were these fish I'd be nervous.

I love to grill tuna at home, I don't think it will ever be the same after this tuna auction experience. First they lay them out, buyers come to inspect them so they can bid, and they are carted away after the auction. These tuna came from Cape Town, South Africa.

Sauces and such.Wish I had stopped to buy some.

Fresh Tuna!
