ALBAWABA - Tuna in Japan is one of the most asked-for dishes.

In one of its fish markets, Japan auctioned one massive 212 kilogram fish for tens of thousands of dollars.

Japan's biggest fish market ushered in 2023 with its annual New Year tuna auction. A 212-kilogram bluefin tuna was sold to the highest bidder for 36.04 million yen ($272,066) at Toyosu Market, which was more than double the price of last year's highest bid.#tuna#Japan #豊洲 pic.twitter.com/wUp2RgHQAf

The top-selling tuna at Tokyo's traditional New Year auction sold at more than $270,000 on Thursday, nearly double last year's price, breaking a pandemic trend of slumping demand, according to AFP.
