New World Record Tuna Price

About the same time last year, the most expensive tuna ever sold went for 32.49 million yen ($400000USD). That record smashed the previous record, and this year it has happened again, by an even larger margin!

Thursday morning a 592 pound (269kg) tuna sold for a staggering $736500 USD (56.49 million yen) at Japan’s Tsukiji fish market. It has been reported that the cost of this tuna would mean that a single slice of sushi could cost as much as 5000 yen, but the firm plans to sell it at a more regular price of up to 418 yen.

Watch a Master Chef Filet a Poisonous Blowfish in 3 Minutes

We’ve discussed Fugu and its origins in detail here on Fishing Fury, but I don’t ever recall posting a video of a live fugu being filet by a master chef. Emphasis on the live part by the way! Perhaps not the video for those who are upset seeing their food moving after its head gets chopped off.

Boston’s Big Picture- Japan’s Crisis: One Month Later

It’s now been a month since the massive destruction that struck Japan. Thousands of people dead or missing, thousands more displaced by the tsunami and radiation, and the rest of the world watches with bated breath. Boston’s Big Picture has put together some of the best most emotional photos we’ve seen thus far.

Japan is just in the beginning of the long term recovery effort from the earthquake that struck off northeastern Japan on March 11. The crisis alert level from the damage to the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant has now been raised to the highest level of impact, the same as the Chernobyl Russia incident 25 years ago. Searchers continue to look for the dead, displaced Japanese live in shelters, protests continue over use of nuclear power, Japan’s economic engine may be disrupted, the massive cleanup of debris is just underway, aftershocks are feared and many continue to mourn those who were lost. The photos collected here are from one month to the day of the quake and beyond. — Lloyd Young (36 photos total)
