Located in central Tokyo, the Tsukiji fish market is the biggest wholesale fish and seafood in the world. Everthing ranging from seaweed to tuna are found at this place. Its open for operation mostly everyday, being the busiest around 5-8am. Annually, more than 700,000 tons of seafood are handled at Tsukiji (2000 tons a day).
The main even of the show was the tuna auction. Hundreds of frozen tuna gets auctioned off, bluefin tunas are priced at around $200 per kilgram. And they weigh 200+ kilgrams. Do the math. The fishes are either moved on to their next destination or are chopped up and sold within the market.
