I hope with sales down , less fish are caught but more likely more are needlessly killed.

Affordable but I would have had to buy another freezer unit.

Cut-price of ¥20.84 mil for a dead fish? Stupid waste of money.

Social distancing at it's cracking best. Oh I forgot, their all wearing masks so it's completely okay to rub shoulders.

The only one I feel any empathy for is the tuna: it's fate wasn't in it's own hands.

Most tuna in the world is caught in the Pacific

II have even seen them migrating up the coast of Japan in shoals.

Slightly off topic, but can anyone tell me?, to my understanding, the auction is silent with the amount offered by the buyers made known to the auctioneer by secretive hand gestures inside a sock. How is this a fair auction? Is there no driving of the price?

you can take litmus paper to tuna and test it for mercury immediately. Yummy mercury!

Or try a sweet potato, (no mercury)

Glad to see a lady over there! Japan is slowly changing!

She'll be reprimanded later!
