Have to say that at my first visit to Tsukiji market I was given a bowl of soup. I found myself eating a piece of cooked chicken - I asked about it and discovered it wasn't chicken after all, but cooked toro (tuna belly - the fattiest part of the fish).
I was also surprisd by this combination, but if the toro is cooked it might not taste much like fish. I was certainly surprised by its chicken quality, nothing like any other fish I've tasted.
