Billingsgate Market

Today was my first time to the fish market next to the Canary Warf; the Billingsgate market. It sells fresh fish and sea products almost on daily basis. The biggest customers are the London restaurants, therefore the market is open from 5am to 8am almost daily. We have arrived at 6am, I was driving a BMW, dont ask me what model. It had a nice semi-automatic gearbox of formula-one type, which was very strange to drive. The market is not huge, but amount of people buying, selling and going around is quite impressive. The feeling was like being at the Carmel market in Israel on a busy day. We bought salmon, sea-bass and king size prones. Ate it at an evening gathering on the same day, delicious ! ;)
