[Tuna Auction]
Assalamualikum and hello world
Tuna auction
is one of the main events that happen at Sendai Central Fish Market. It
gathers fisherman, wholesaler, and representatives from restaurant,
food processing companies, and large retailers as early as 6 am for this
event. Since the fish needs to be kept frozen and fresh as possible to
maintain it’s quality and taste, not everyone can enter the auction
area. Huge frozen tunas are lined up carried by forklifts. Their tails
are removed and small sample of each tuna’s meat are extracted to
strictly examine the colour, texture, and fat content. This determines
the quality and starting price of each tuna. The auction that takes
place between an auctioneer and buyers are serious. It’s really tough
for layman to understand their sign language. This day, bidding process
took roughly around 15 to 20 minutes and those who offered the highest
price won the huge tuna.
It was really awesome experience for me to be able to watch tuna auction in Sendai Central Fish Market.
