Self-described Japanese "Tuna King" Kiyoshi Kimura paid a record $3 million for a 612-pound (278-kilogram) bluefin tuna at the first new year's auction in Tokyo on Saturday.

The winning sum for the prized and threatened species at the auction was more than double the previous record from the annual New Year auction, set in 2013.

Bluefin tuna normally sells for up to $40 a pound, but the price steeply increases by the year’s end and reaches its highs for prized catches in Northern Japan.

Geese !

Do the japs freeze dry the tuna, make it into a powder, and snort it like cocaine as a aphrodisiac

The Tuna King looks like he could eat that big fish all by himself.

Never buy a tuna. Only rent one. Divorce is too expensive compared to rental units.
