A tuna once sold for $1.8 million, but you can get cans of tuna fish for less than $2 at the grocery store. So, what's the difference? Bluefin tuna can be very expensive depending on where you buy it and which part of the fish you are eating. We spoke with the chef at Shoji in New York, Derek Wilcox, to find out why the fish is so expensive.

  • The tuna graduated from Harvard law school, got married to his high school sweetheart, they had 3 children, his life savings and property ownership was far above and beyond anything previous generations had even seen, so it’s safe to say this “tuna had a good life”. Right up to him being caught and sold to the highest bidder.

  • As a commercial bluefin tuna fisherman from Maine, I’ll have to say 20-40 a lb for the angler is only a dream now a days. Over the past few years I’d say the average has dropped from 15 down to as low as 5 a pound depending on market. Covid has definitely not helped, but managed to get 8 per on a 350 lbs dressed BFT. Great informative video. Wish more people knew about this market and where the fish come from.

  • When I was a teen and went deep sea fishing off the coast of Baja California I was the only one on the boat for the day that caught a bluefin. A few dozen yellowfin were caught. It wasn't a massive fish like these million dollar ones, but it was around 100lbs or so. Didn't realize how big a deal that was, but it tasted great.

The numbers have a lot of range because you aren't allowed to sell organs but only donate them. A human worth in its labor value is even more than its physical worth but has an even larger range of value in general.

    • It actually does make sense. It was the least desired because it got bad fast because of the hight fat content so it wasn't worth buying because you couln't sell it fast enough, that's why the fishers left those parts over for the poor. Now they have the options to get the fish sold fast and can preserve it a bit longer, so now the actual taste matters, not how good you can preserve/sell it.

We bought 40 cheese egg tarts from this famous shop considered to be the tastiest cheese egg tart in the whole city. It's also quite pricey compared to it's contemporaries. Then we repackaged 20 of them to look's like it came from some cheap roadside stall. We brought it to our office and before long some people started to complain how the "cheap" tarts not taste as good, and how it lack this and that ingredients. Of course, to the credit of the "famous" tart shop, there's also some who ask me where we bought the "cheap" tart because they say it's unusually good for being "cheap".

Sell it at walmart, even at 50$ i'm not sure anybody will buy it. Take the french wine. 50 years ago the best bottle weere sold for 200-300 $ (2022 dollars). Now it can go as high as 10 000 - 20 000 $. All these products only serve one purpose, to show your money. You are really fat rich ? show it with a 100k watch and a 1 000 000 $ car. Or serve a 20k $ bottle to your guest, if you want to be a sophisticated rich, with red tuna and caviar You are not rich but still want to show you have more than the average joe ? buy 500$ sneakers and the last iphone.

He also said that a tuna caught traditional or with rods are highly expensive as damages and quality observed.

Also the mercury accumulates in animals exactly the same with people, so the bigger the fish, the higher the dose. Thats why small sardines are recommended more than large tuna. Though the conversation of bait fish and overfishing is another tin on anchovies...

    • Learn your facts. As a tuna fisherman I can certainly say that they're NOT endangered and are actually growing faster and better than they have been in the last 20 years

  • I once got the chance to eat real Bluefin Tuna from the Store in Norway. If you wonder what it taste like... it's just like a regular mackel. In Norwegian we lituarly say Mackrel-Bigfish. And yes we have very strickt regulations here about how much they are allowed to be fished.

    • I lived in Norway for a year and was surprised at how much Vietnamese catfish was stocked in the supermarkets. For a country with such a big fishing industry I was surprised by this. I was also surprised to hear Norwegians say they don't like eating cod and viewed it as being quite a dirty fish. It also shocked me to hear about how illegal minke whale fishing is still pretty widespread

    • Well a lot of fish species do, these are pelagic fish because they swim out in open water offshore but there are some bottom fish that stay on wrecks and reefs like some grouper species, some snapper, and some of the jacks
