When it comes to loving tuna, I’m afraid no one in the world would dare to say that except the Japanese.

These guys are a group of people who are extremely obsessed with tuna.

You know, there are actually many kinds of tuna, but the blue flag tuna is the favorite of Japanese people.

The price of another type of yellowfin tuna is actually less than half of that of bluefin tuna.

The price of bluefin tuna has reached over US$10,000 per kilogram two years ago.

Of course, this must meet the standards. As for the standards, it depends on the distribution ratio of protein and fat in the tuna.

The fat content should neither be too high nor too low.

Because if it is too high, it will be very fatty, and if it is too low, it will affect the taste of the meat.

So although the Japanese are willing to spend a lot of money for bluefin tuna, there are conditions for spending this money.

Because they have extremely high requirements for the quality of tuna, because this kind of bluefin tuna can be said to be a treasure to them.

The meat from the body can be used to make sashimi and sushi, and the bones can be used to make soup.

The most expensive part of bluefin tuna is their bone marrow.

The Japanese even chop the big spines on these tuna into small pieces just to suck out the marrow inside.

Because the bone marrow of bluefin tuna contains a very high amount of EDA, it has great benefits for the human brain.

Therefore, the most expensive part of this fish is naturally the bone marrow.

As for Japan, it has actually tried to farm bluefin tuna.

Unfortunately, because the sea near their island country is very polluted, the scale of breeding has not been very large.

As for what pollution is and why it is polluted, everyone knows.

So they could only set up several small-scale bluefin tuna farms in Hokkaido, near the Sea of ​​Okhotsk.

Each scale is small,

And affected by the harsh climate, the scale is also very limited.

Therefore, Japan is the world's largest importer of bluefin tuna every year.

After they import tuna, they mainly consume it domestically.

On the other hand, it also needs to be exported in large quantities. The main export places are Los Angeles and New York.

Many people must not have thought of this. Americans catch large amounts of tuna in the Atlantic Ocean.

Sold to the Japanese, and then in a circle, the Japanese exported these tuna to the United States and sold them to Americans.

Hehe, this is such a business logic.

Why don’t Americans eat it themselves?

Because Americans don’t know how to cook it, these cowboys are really only suitable for eating grilled steaks and burgers.

If you ask them to make sushi or sashimi, they really can't do it.

But I love Japanese food very much.

Therefore, there are a large number of high-end Japanese restaurants in Los Angeles and New York.

A lot of fresh tuna is flown in from Japan every day, and is then made into sashimi or sashimi by Japanese chefs there and sold to American cowboys.

And American cowboys are willing to pay high prices for these delicious Japanese dishes.

Normally, a meal in one of these Japanese restaurants would cost more than $100 if you want to be full based on the appetite of Americans...

This is for Americans who can go to a buffet restaurant full of grilled steaks and fried chicken for ten dollars and have a full meal of meat.

This price is already quite luxurious, but it still cannot stop wealthy Americans from loving this top-notch Japanese food.

This has to do with the Japanese propaganda and infiltration into the United States for many years.

Gu because you can see it in various catering magazines and in the various selections done every year.

Among the top ten healthiest foods from all over the world, sashimi and sushi are definitely indispensable.

Coupled with the frighteningly high average age in Japan, wealthy Americans believe that eating more Japanese food can be beneficial to their health.

This is also the main reason why Japanese food is so expensive but not so popular in the United States.

And it is not only very expensive in the United States, but also very expensive in Europe. There are also a large number of people who originally thought that Japanese materials were expensive.

And this is the main reason why high-quality bluefin tuna can cost US$10,000 per kilogram.

The wealthy class originally expected to pay for these expensive ingredients.

Some Canadian fishing companies have also tried to farm bluefin tuna before.

But they gave up after a brief attempt because the growth cycle of bluefin tuna is very long.

According to their breeding model, it takes more than three years to mature.

Moreover, bluefin tuna does not eat dead food, but only live fish, which greatly increases their breeding costs.

So in the end, it’s more cost-effective to go fishing in the wild.

As a result, there will be no one to raise bluefin tuna.

This has also caused the price of bluefin tuna to skyrocket.

As early as the 1960s, people were fishing for tuna.

At that time, the annual tuna production could reach about 170,000 tons.

But at that time, most of the tuna was taken to make canned cats and dogs.

Later, the Japanese began to use bluefin tuna in large quantities for sashimi and sushi, which triggered a fishing frenzy for bluefin tuna.

At its peak, more than one million tons were caught worldwide each year.

Soon, bluefin tuna was in danger of being eaten to extinction.

As a result, the price of bluefin tuna is getting higher and higher now, and one fish can easily be sold for millions, or even tens of millions.

Of course, many of these fish also have the intention of speculation.

As for ordinary tuna, although the price is not that high, it is still quite cheap.

Because the supply is so small, the amount of bluefin tuna consumed in Japan last year was only about 22,000 tons.

This has also resulted in a situation where the price of bluefin tuna in the Japanese market has remained high.

Because not only do they need to eat it themselves, but they also need to export it to high-end markets in the United States and Europe.

Therefore, one of the purposes of the bluefin tuna farming conducted by the celebrity chef group in the southern Indian Ocean is to sell it to Japan to make money from the Japanese.

As expected, these fish were sold out as soon as they were shipped to the Japanese market.

Because the quality of these fish is so good.

Especially when Japanese people eat bluefin tuna, they particularly like the special sour taste in the fish.

This is also the main reason why bluefin tuna is not suitable for cooking, because once it is cooked, this unique sour taste will disappear...

It's a pity that Xiao Feng can't appreciate this sour taste, just like he can't like stinky tofu.

Of course, this does not prevent celebrity chef groups from providing large amounts of bluefin tuna to Japan.

Who makes the Japanese rich? Even though they have been clamoring about losing money every day for thirty years, in fact they have been making a fortune silently.

Over the years, they have made a lot of money from us~
