A huge-ass tuna fish was sold for $100, 000 in Japan today.
Those guys love their fish but…seriously. I guess $100, 000 compared to the tuna that cost 20 million yen in 2001. I mean, it’s a big tuna and all, and I bet it made great sushi, but how much did the restaurant owners have to charge per roll to recoup their costs?
That picture to the right is actually kind of pissing me off right now, because I am under a sushi moratorium for the next 7 months or so. And no tuna, even if it’s cooked! Something about mercury levels in tuna being higher than other fish. Swordfish and shark is also out for the same reason, but I can’t afford that stuff anyway. But tuna…I’m dying here, kid. You better appreciate this!
(Has anyone else noticed that tuna always look belligerent? The ones at the aquarium do, anyway.)
It really amazing what people are willing to pay for stuff. I hope that tuna was good, because they sure did pay a lot of money.
