Costly catch

Perhaps due to the proximity of the New Year holidays, the second highest price ever was paid for a bluefin tuna at Tokyo’s famous Tsukiji market on Wednesday. The 325kg catch selling at auction for a staggering 9.75 million yen (48,000 pound).

Which it has to be said is an awful lot of money for a fairly large fish.

A purchase presumably not destined for the canning factory.
