The New York Times (perhaps you’ve heard of it) is reporting that a single bluefin tuna recently fetched $177 Grand at a Japanese auction. That’s $345 for each of the giant tuna’s 513 pounds.
This isn’t the most expensive tuna to sell in Japan. In 2004 a 440 pound tuna went for a record $504.54 a pound, $220,000. Here’s the NYT story.
