A bluefin tuna weighing a staggering 276 kilograms (608 pounds) was sold for 193.2 million yen ($1.8 million) on Sunday at a Tokyo fish market, the second-highest price on record.
Kiyomura Corp, which runs the Sushizanmai restaurant chain across Japan, made the winning bid for the second year in a row. It paid a record 333.6 million yen for a 278-kilogram bluefin tuna at last year’s auction.
The fish, which weighs about the same as a large vending machine, was caught off Oma in northern Japan.
