In Japan, there is a huge fish market. The Tsukijji fish market is home to hundreds of auctions every day where fish are bought and sold. One of the more expensive fish to be had is the giant tuna. A new record price for such a fish was set at the first auction of the year.
The blue fin tuna weighed in at 754 pounds and fetched a record price of $396,000 dollars. This averages out to about $526 dollars per pound. The tuna was bought by the owners of Japan’s Kyubey restaurant.
