I would love a slab of that! I think I will pass with a price  > $500/lb

There 's a very sad side to this story, tuna are getting those prices because they are increasingly harder to catch, not because they 've got smart or something like that, it 's because they are no longer there, they are getting more expensive and smaller, all big fish are gone.

Thats a lot of sashimi....

Yes.  Sad.  All the hype about global warming (which, in my mind anyway, is unproven and harder still to do anything about (if it does exist)), while little is being done to prevent the over harvesting of our oceans.

I saw the title, thought this was another football thread, and Bill Parcells had signed to coach a football team ............ in Japan.

Japan is crazy about tuna, and whales. They need to eat more chickens...

This kind of reminds me of South Park s.13 e. 11 for some reason.

I can hear it now... "f@#$-a you-a brufin tuna!"
