😳🐟 Stat of the Day: A 608-lb Pacific bluefin tuna – as big as a cow, grizzly bear, or motorcycle, depending on who you ask – sold for $1.3 million at a Tokyo auction on Sunday, marking the second most-expensive fish sale on record (behind a $3.1 million tuna sale in 2019). The massive specimen was purchased by Onodera Group, which said it plans to serve the tuna at over a dozen of its Michelin-starred sushi restaurants in Japan and across the world.
Fun fact: Pacific bluefin tuna are one of the largest and fastest fish in the relatively cold Pacific ocean, migrating a Finding Nemo-dwarfing 5,000+ miles back and forth from the shores of Japan to California at speeds of up to ~18 MPH.
