bkk's "best of wholesale fish street" pic's

[bkk_group]

ok, on the outskirts of jatujak market there is a street where every night (and well into the morning) different goods are put up for wholesale. one night it might be clothes, one night it might be..fish. we were there one morning waiting for my plakat connection in bangkok and saw all these fish bags lined up all the way down the street. apparently the best fish get snatched up at around 3am in the morning, we were there at 9 in the morning.

i'll start with this pic, too funny, look at the size of that bug! i'm sure it fell into the tank on it's own but the plakat thought it was breakfast. (maybe his eyes were bigger than his stomach though)..

pretty much anything was up for grabs..

many types of food were available in bulk..

these crabs should maybe start working out the other arm for a change..

i don't know..i thought these tanks were pretty creative..

these are some pretty damned fine crown-tails, look at those rays..

Those veiltales by the bucket full was sad.
But i would've still loved to go to a market like that. Fish must've been so much cheaper there eh BBK? Did you purchase anything?
