Pacific Blue Fin Tuna to Become Extinct? 3.1 Million Record Sale in Japan.
Over the past few weeks I have been obsessed with watching YouTube videos on how sushi restaurant chefs process fresh fish to eat. Watching a chef carve up a massive fish or lobster is very entertaining and intriguing to me. The Blue Fin Tuna is a massive fish and very sought after in the sushi culture, especially in Japan.
This fish just sold at auction for a staggering 3.1 million dollars and many experts say the fish is easily on its way to the extinction list due to over fishing and keeping fish that are not even fully mature. I caught a blue fin in Mexico several years ago and ate some of it right on the boat less than 10 min from being in the water. Knowing what I know now, we should have never kept that fish because it was way undersized compared to most fish actually sold in the markets.
The Blue Fin Tuna is often described as “twice as powerful as a Lion and faster than a Cheetah” but rules and lack of regulation in Japan are killing this fish before it can become the most mature to harvest. Blue Fin migrate between the waters near an around Japan all the way to the Pacific Ocean area of Southern California and northern Mexico.
Below I have included a YouTube link where you can watch one of these extremely expensive fish get precision harvested to elite chefs. Nothing is wasted on this fish...and with the price tag they come with I can see why.
Just one of these fish can literally feed a small army of people.
I fish for Bluefin in the Atlantic Ocean. Stellwagen Bank which is one of the top 5 Blue Fin habitats in the world. They usually sell for between $10 and $30 per pound dressed. The price depends upon the quality of the meat - oily is better. The season is shut down and the only reason for a fish to sell for that much is that it was one of the last of the season and thus sold for a wild premium.
How many pheasants you have to shoot for one of this?
About 1,000 acres worth!
I really like fish. Price of this tuna to much high. 3.1 billion dollers. Size of this fish is to big. Killing of tuna fish is not good. Thanks for sharing review about this big fish. @broncnutz.
Wish to know how much a small piece costs ?
Keep on postin

The inordinate consumption instint of humans would cost humanity the entire ecosystem which would ultimately cause human Extinction.
I pray , it wount get to that bad a situation!!
We need to rescue this trend by more proactive Campaign against destructive Consumption.
3.1 $ or 4.1 $ @broncnutz? I find out newspaper today 4.1$. in old market of Japan this tradition to get fish become awesome to see. And you know, this fish is one of hundred fish in lose in sea. Blue fish
The rapid and massive killing of blue tuna fish will certainly leads to the extinction of this great specie of fish. For a fish to be sold for such a huge price is really massive I believe that is why there is a high demand for tuna fish in Asia and Japan @broncnutz

The video was very cool. The price these fish fetch is unreal.
I don't know if you have ever watched the show WICKED TUNA, if you haven't it follows 5 or 6 different private fishing boats that try to hook these incredible monsters. Great show I think you may enjoy.
