Pricey pet


The price of galunggong today, at more than P300 per kilo, is extremely high. But there’s an even pricier fish that ordinary consumers can’t afford.
A supersized bluefin tuna weighing nearly 525 pounds was sold at Japan’s Toyosu Fish Market during its recent first auction of the new year. Seafood wholesaler Yamayuki and a sushi chain won the bidding after offering a whopping $800,000 for the fish.
The tuna caught off the coast of Aomori Prefecture will be served at Onodera, a Michelin-starred sushi restaurant in Tokyo’s ritzy Ginza district, The Japan Times reported.
There are, however, other animals that are more valuable than tuna.
