Tuna Made Of Gold

Love sushi .. love Japan.. and anyone who loves Japan.. would definitely love the finest sushi .. but to pay $100K for sushi .. tuna to be exact.. i doubt i can afford it.  Can you .. ?? or would you ..??  I am sure a lot of ppl would beg to differ.. especially those die hard fans of blue fin tuna. 

The 282-pound (128-kilogram) premium tuna caught off the northern coast of Oma fetched 9.63 million yen ($104,700), the highest since 2001, when another Japanese bluefin tuna brought an all-time record of 20 million yen, market official Takashi Yoshida said.

Yoshida said the extravagant purchase — about $370 per pound ($817 per kilogram) — went to a Hong Kong sushi bar owner and his Japanese competitor who reached a peaceful settlement to share the big fish. The Hong Kong buyer also paid the highest price at last year’s new year event at Tokyo’s Tsukiji market, the world’s largest fish seller, which holds near-daily auctions.
