I came across a huge tuna on a street.
It took nine men to carry it in a restarant.
It weighs 305 kg!!
It took three men to cut it. They cut it with a saw-edged knife.
filleted
It is said that tuna is one of the most popular fish among Japanese.
We eat left-over flesh on the spine of a fish called Nakaochi in Japanese.
Tekkamaki, far right, is vinegared rice rolled in a sheet of dried laver with Nakaochi.
By the way, do you know how much top bidder paid for tuna at first auction of this year?
About 16 million yen!! (232.6 kg)
FYI, the top bidder is Hong Konger who bought it along with an established sushi shop in Japan.
