If you want to love tuna, I'm afraid no one in the world except the Japanese dares to say the number one.

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

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

Another type of yellowfin tuna is not even half the price of bluefin tuna.

The price of bluefin tuna reached more than 10,000 US dollars 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 not be too high, but it should not be too low.

Because it will be 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 on bluefin tuna, the money is also subject to conditions.

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

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

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

The Japanese even wanted to chop the big thorns on these tunas into pieces to suck the bone marrow inside.

Because the bone marrow of bluefin tuna contains very high EDA, it is of great benefit to the human brain.

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

When it comes to Japan, I have actually tried to breed bluefin tuna.

Unfortunately, the waters near their island countries are very polluted, so the scale of breeding has never been very large.

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

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

Each is not big in size and is affected by the harsh climate, so the scale is also very limited.

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

The main reason why they imported tuna was consumed at home on the one hand.

On the other hand, it also requires large-scale exports, and the main export places are Los Angeles, and New York.

Many people certainly never imagined that Americans fished a large number of tuna in the Atlantic Ocean.

Sell ​​it to the Japanese, and then walked around, and the Japanese exported the tuna to the United States and sold it to the Americans.

Hehe, that's the business logic.

Why don’t Americans eat it themselves?

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

You ask them to make sushi, or sashimi, they really can't make it.

But I love Japanese cuisine very much.

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

Every day, a lot of fresh tuna is airlifted from Japan, and then the Japanese chefs there make sashimi or sashimi and sell it to American cowboys for food.

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

I usually have to have a meal at these Japanese restaurants. With the appetite of the Americans, I basically have to eat more than 100 yuan if I want to eat enough...

This is a buffet restaurant with grilled steaks, fried chicken, and a meal of big meat for Americans.

The price is already quite luxurious, but it still cannot stop the rich Americans from fond of such top Japanese food.

This has to be related to the years of publicity by the Japanese and its infiltration into the United States.

Because you can see various catering magazines and various selections created every year.

Among the top ten, sashimi and sushi are definitely indispensable among the healthiest foods in various countries.

Coupled with the scary average age of Japan, rich Americans believe that eating a few more Japanese meals can be beneficial to their health.

This is also the main reason why Japanese food is so expensive, but it is so popular in the United States.

Moreover, it is not only very expensive in the United States, but also very expensive in Europe. There is also a large number of people who thought it was expensive to pay for Japanese goods.

This is also the main reason why high-quality bluefin tuna can buy $10,000 per kilogram.

The wealthy class thought that the expensive ingredients were paid for.

Previously, some Canadian fishery companies also tried to breed bluefin tuna.

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

According to their breeding model, they basically need to breed for more than three years before they can mature.

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

So in the end, it is better to go to the wild to catch it.

In this way, no one will come to raise bluefin tuna.

This has also led to the price of bluefin tuna rising all the way.

As early as the 1960s, people also caught tuna a lot.

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

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

Later, the Japanese began to use bluefin tuna in large quantities as sashimi. After sushi, it triggered a craze for bluefin tuna.

At its highest time, more than one million tons can be caught worldwide in a year.

So soon, bluefin tuna was in danger of being eaten.

So much so that the price of bluefin tuna is getting higher and higher, and now it can always make a price that costs several million or even tens of millions of dollars.

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

Although the price of ordinary tuna is not that high, it is not cheap.

Because the supply is too small, the number of bluefin tuna consumed by Japan throughout the year was only about 22,000 tons.

This has also led to a situation where bluefin tuna has remained high in the Japanese market.

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

So one of the purposes of this famous chef group's bluefin tuna farming in the South Indian Ocean is to sell it to Japan to make money from the Japanese.

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

Because the quality of these fish is really good.

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

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

Unfortunately, Xiao Feng couldn't appreciate this sour taste, just like he couldn't like stinky tofu.

Of course this does not prevent it. The celebrity chef group provides a large number of bluefin tuna to Japan.

Who made the Japanese rich? Although they clamored for thirty years every day, they were actually making a fortune in silence.
