At $7000 per kilo that would be $198 for each 1 oz. slice of tuna!!!
edit...after reading article it is actually $7600 per kilo
that equals $215 per ounce

And they say Cocaine is expensive.
There are currently around thirty Tuna Rings out front of my house and they are being activly tended. I guess Japan doesn't have any Fiscal Cliffs to
worry about.

That's OK, ED. You can't fish in the Tuna Rings anyway.
