Atlantic bluefin tuna, which is known for its tender pinky red meat, is often used in sushi and sashimi among other dishes. Although the fish is now listed as endangered species, it's still extremely sought-after. In 2020, a 276kg (608lbs) tuna was sold for $1.8 million at an auction in Tokyo's Toyosu fish market. Bought by sushi tycoon Kiyoshi Kimura, this is the second highest-ever price paid for bluefin tuna after Kimura's $3.1 million purchase last year.
