Landing a 1000 lbs Bluefin Tuna, East Coast of Prince Edward Island,, Canada

North Lake PEI. Commercial Fishermen in PEI only get two days a year to fish for Bluefin Tuna. This year they were catching some very large fish. They had great weather and calm seas. According to the locals the largest Tuna ever caught off PEI was over 1400 lbs. I wonder how many little sushi's that makes. My wife and I on vacation simply by chance were able to, ahem, catch this amazing video.

This is the second time that the Japanese have paid mega bucks for tuna. Clearly the tuna is of good quality but I think more importantly the fish was caught in Janpanese waters. The person/fish company said that he bought the fish partly for nationalistic or perhaps marketing reasons

[fredwilliamsajax]

Actually the Japaneese paid $245,000 for a 650 lb bluefin caught of the coast to Japan. They must really like their fish.

Actually, Japan pays these prices, there was a 650 Bluefin recently caught of the coast of Japan that went for $350,000US. The Quality of the meat is important. In North America the price is more like$30 to $35 per pound
