Above is a video of the street we had to cross to get from the side with the flea market and restaurants, to the fish market proper. And below are two photos of what the market looks like. We were there after the auction, when things were wrapping up.
Many of the seafood items were sold live. Including what looked like baby eels.

Even in the modern supermarkets here (Malaysia), you'll find tanks or tubs of live fish, usually catfish. I'm still surprised to see mostly dead crabs on ice. I'm used to seeing them for sale all tied up with string and alive and snapping! You do the deed at home. ::cue ominous music::
China town in Toronto sells live shellfish, but I don't think I've ever seen live eels for sale before Japan.
Of course, not everything's as authentic. I saw frozen sushi being sold at Costco yesterday. :\ That's just wrong.
