Fish size of a bike sold for 11 crores, people spend lakhs to eat one bite

New Delhi: Would you believe that a fish can cost 1.3 million dollars i.e. about 11 crore rupees? It will sound strange, but this is what happened in Tokyo, the capital of Japan. This fish was Bluefin Tuna, which weighed 276 kg. It was bought by Tokyo’s famous sushi restaurant by bidding 1.3 million dollars. According to this, the price of this fish per kg was about 4 lakh rupees.

Auction is held every year
Fish auction is held every year in Tokyo, and for the last five years a group named Onodera has been placing the highest bid. This time also this group maintained the record of buying fish. According to reports, after the auction, Shinji Nagao associated with the group said that we want people to eat it and have a great start to their year.

Specialty of Bluefin Tuna
Bluefin Tuna is known for its fast speed and long lifespan. This fish can live for about 40 years and can hunt by going to the depths of the sea. This fish is very expensive due to its large size and rarity. But, its physical characteristics alone do not make it a fish worth crores.

Reason for the price of crores
The biggest reason for the price of bluefin tuna is the imbalance of demand and supply. This fish is served in big and famous restaurants of the world. Its high demand and limited supply makes its price sky high. Apart from this, where this fish was found and how much effort it took to bring it to your plate is also a big reason in determining its price. Bluefin tuna of Oma located in Tsugaru Strait of Japan is considered to be the most expensive.

Title of black gold
Bluefin tuna is called black gold due to its price and rarity. This is not only a story related to the depths of the sea, but also the principle of economics where limited supply and high demand makes something priceless.
