Bucket O'Eel
Fresh live eels by the bucket in Tokyo's Tsukiji fish market. It is somewhat shocking and to see the violent way these little sea snakes are filleted. The vendors actually reach into this writhing bucket of squiggling eels, pull out an unlucky one and nail it's head to a cutting board and pull the tail straight, so as to be able to hold it steady while running the knife along the spine. It is as barbaric as any slaughter, but you won't find it fresher.
