Bluefin Sells for Record $740,000


Tokyo’s famed Tsukiji market rang in the first auction of 2012 with a record sale when a local sushi company bought a 593-pound bluefin tuna for over $740,000. Weighing in at roughly $1,247 a pound, that’s the most expensive tuna ever sold at Japan’s largest wholesale fish market, or anywhere else for that matter, beating last year’s high price by over $260,ooo.
