Holy cow talk about expensive sushi

The buyer paid $3.1 million for giant tuna

A Japanese sushi entrepreneur paid a record US$3.1 million for a giant tuna on Saturday as Tokyo’s new fish market, which replaced the world-famous Tsukiji late last year, held its first predawn new year’s auction.
Bidding stopped at a whopping 333.6 million yen for the enormous 278kg (612 pounds) fish

I'd retire from work after one then fish them for fun.

I'd buy the Cleveland Cavs for that kind of money!

If the fish dressed at 500# that would be 3875.00 per oz by my figuring, could be wrong.

I could also be wrong as I got $387.50/oz. Either way I cannot imagine how you could possibly sell the sushi at a profit. At least with sushi you don't have the expense of cooking the dish. Add in this, I think a finished weight of 500# from a 612# fish is pretty generous. The head alone might weigh 100# or more. I've never checked but I don't think I come close to getting 50% edible fish from the whole fish when I clean them. Maybe if I had a SKINZIT could.

Skinzit is a strong yes with 7 figure fish. If there’s a market, somebody will oblige.
