Licking the head of a tuna.
September 6, 2009 12:13 PM

The Washington Post recently ran a beautiful photo slide show of the biggest fish market in the world in Tokyo, Japan:

Japanese fishmongers inspect frozen tuna fish. Every night, seafood from all over the world is delivered to the market by tankers, trucks and airplanes. More than 40,000 people buy and sell about 450 species and varieties of fish, including the frozen tuna shown here, at the market's 1,500-plus stalls.

But this is the best caption:

Fishmongers transport frozen tuna fish. The workers are remarkably tolerant of tourists, but reached their limit last year when a tourist reportedly licked the head of a tuna. Now visitors are cordoned off to protect the merchandise from public displays of affection.

Ever wonder what the head of a freshly-caught tuna tastes like? Check out the photos...
