Bluefin tuna makes the best sushi, say the experts.So it is perhaps not surprising that this 593lb monster fetched a good price on Japan’s fish market.In fact, the fish went for an astonishing £472,038 – making it the world’s most expensive tuna. Sought-after: Kiyomura Co President Kiyoshi Kimura poses with the 269kg weighted bluefin tuna auctioned at the highest price in Tsukiji Fish Market history Catch of the day: Sushi chefs of Kiyomura Co hold a slice of a bluefin tuna at their Sushi Zanmai restaurant near Tsukiji fish market in Tokyo At that price – a record £792 per lb – sushi lovers would end up paying about £62 a serving after the fish is cut into thousands of slices. However, British fans of sushi – essentially cooked vinegared rice and raw fish – probably won’t get a chance to try the tuna at any price. The prime, fatty ‘otoro’ will only go on sale in Japan. Bluefin tuna can reach 60mph to pursue prey such as flying fish and mackerel.

They also need speed to elude their predators, large sharks and killer whales. They often swim for protection with dolphin pods. This led to fishermen following dolphins to hunt the fish – and to the deaths of huge numbers of dolphins. The UK consumes more than a billion tins of tuna a year – much of it yellowfin tuna, one of several types to be commercially fished. Although associated with Japan, sushi is said to have originated in ancient China. It’s been bought by Kiyoshi Kimura, president of a chain of 46 Tokyo restaurants. He said cuts of the giant fish would be sold at the more usual prices of between £1.15 and £3.50 a lb as a gift to the Japanese people for all the hardships they endured in 2011, including the earthquake and tsunami that hit the country in March. The record price per lb easily surpassed that paid last year for an even larger 753lb fish that fetched £257,320. The tuna was caught off Oma, north of

the area hit by last year’s tsunami. Although the fish is of high quality, the price has much to do with the celebratory atmosphere that surrounds the first auction of the year. ‘Japan has been through a lot,’ Mr Kimura said yesterday. jiro dreams of sushi review ny times‘Japan needs to hang in there.’comprar ingredientes para sushi online The Japanese eat 80 per cent of thesushi cat 5 armor games sought-after Atlantic and Pacific bluefin tuna. watch jiro dreams of sushi part 1 growing concerns over a sharp decline in the number of such fish left in Bluefin tuna is prized for its tender red meat.
