1) Pick your fish. Below we have 1 red snapper and 1 yellowjack. The vendor pulls your selected fish out of the tank, puts it in the plastic bin and weighs it. You pay based on the weight of your fish.
2) Vendor then slices and dices your fish into bite sized pieces and delivers your fish to one of the restaurants off to the side of the market. The white is the red snapper and the red is the yellowjack, and we all agreed that the yellowjack was better.
3) After digging into the raw fish, served with wasabi and soy sauce, and side dishes of lettuce, sesame leaves, carrots, peppers, and garlic, additional things can be ordered. One method of eating the fish, instead of just dipping it into soy sauce and wasabi, is to wrap it up in a piece of lettuce with a piece of sesame leaf, add some fish/pepper sauce stuff, and maybe a piece of garlic.
These are the oysters we ordered. I tried an oyster for the first time, and have to admit that I am not sure what the appeal is of eating something that tastes like seawater.
These are the grilled shrimp we ordered. Quite yummy, but very messy. Note that the tablecloth is plastic. We just left the shells on the table.
4) After eating everything else, they bring to your table a pot of bubbling soup made from the other parts of your fish that didn't make it on your plate earlier. It has the fish, red paste, and some greens, plus some bean sprouts. It's quite spicy in my opinion.
My bowl of fish soup.
A delicious meal.
