Expensive Salt Water Fish!

• At nearly $1.8 million, the Pacific Bluefin fish is the most expensive saltwater fish. Sold at Tokyo’s Tsukiji Market auction, the 222-kilogram fish became the property of Co’s president, Kiyoshi Kimura in 2013.
• The Bluefin is prized for its tender pink meat, which is used in sushi and sashimi dishes.
• Its increasing rarity due to overfishing is also skyrocketing market prices an area of great concern to environmentalists who fear that the fish will go extinct.

• Despite this, there is a ready market for the fish in Japan and the crown for the most expensive saltwater fish will soon be taken if the Pacific Bluefin population continues dwindling.
