This 600-pound bluefin

[@seanli7493]

The reason it's so expensive is because it's tradition for the first sale of the year to be bid for very aggressively, both for marketing for the buyer being able to make headlines and for a tradition where a new record is set each year as a sort of new years gift. The record was interrupted in 2021 because of the pandemic. Edit: forgot to mention, the actual price is much more reasonable. The price is usually only thousands of dollars per fish, which equals to around 20-30 USD per pound.

Beautiful fish beautiful meat. But I am worried about it's extinction 😟

[@sketchtimetv-dsmllc6021]

If that much is paid for a single tuna, and that market is like that each day, then it shouldn't be too long before they are all extinct. Make it make sense. Blessings

[@REDBEARD5252]

That's almost $5,000.00 a LB?!?!? I wish I could afford blue fin tuna in Japan!!

[@bck187]

you can afford it, only the first tuna gets sold for millions of dollars because it is the first catch of the season, all the rest of the tunas are sold at normal prices.

Auction: Sells tuna for $3 million dollars Fisherman: Sold tuna for $100......

[@selenasanders9315]

I watch this show "Wicked Tuna" They catch bluefins and get paid like 16$-22$ per pound.... A 600 pound one with great core and fat would be a few grands at most

[@damondiehl5637]

It has to be frozen and flown to Japan. Still won't get a million dollars, though.

[@petrhermanadventures9509]

There is prestige attached to buying the first Bluefin of the season. That's why the bids get crazy, every other tuna does not fetch that price.

[@xx-tryhards-xx1989]

For 3 million I want my tuna alive so he can live forever 😂

[@cloverg7821]

Maybe it's because the can they come in is so small... but I just can't comprehend a tuna as being such a big fish! Amazing

[@meyo4158]

Some of that money should go into supporting that tunas family

[@xsilenceiskey_1821]

Imagine robbing a bank in 2024 instead of a fish market

[@lyricsrythm3193]

They've been fishing tuna to extinction 🙄

[@joshuapatrick682]

Yea!!! Commercialized over-harvesting is leading to the collapse of fisheries the world over but let’s celebrate the custom of spending absurd amounts of money on one as a tradition!

[@atel4946]

Imagine saving money the rest of your life just to buy a single fish.

[@808Trader]

3M tuna at a restaurant Chef: thats tuna belly sashimi, nigiri and a sushi roll for 35,000 dollars.

[@mikebivins39]

Now I'm hungry I'm getting some next week love sushi

[@JL017]

3million yen = ~$20,000 . That makes more sense to me . Why put the dollar sign if you didnt mean dollars?? 🤔

[@Nathaniel1991]

I wonder what profit the guy who paid 3 million for the tuna made

[@joshuapatrick682]

Hope y’all like squid, because bony fish are gonna be a thing of the past real soon.

[@thgmar]

Insider talking out of their ass again. Basically all the information they gave is incorrect and misleading, bluefin don’t sell for millions only the first fish of the year does, and yellowfin is the leanest of the three tuna mentioned.

[@iceling01]

Tuna too- Lobster Hold My Beer 🍺

[@Trav81888]

Fun fact: the world’s largest tuna was an Atlantic tuna weighing 1496lbs some 40 years ago.

[@Hy-jn6in]

If you think yellow fin tuna is high in fat content, the blue fin tuna is probably like a lump of lard to you.

[@bigjm3143]

Maybe millions of rupees.😊

[@tnonname828]

That $3000,000 612 pound bluefin Hass to be some kind of money laundering scheme. At that price they’d have to be charging almost $310 an ounce just to break even.
