736,000 USD for a single tuna fish  

President of sushi restaurant chain Sushi-Zanmai, Kiyoshi Kimura (L), slices up a 269kg bluefin tuna to serve his customers at his main restaurant near Tokyo's Tsukiji fish market on January 5, 2012. The deep-pocketed restaurateur shelled out 736,000 USD for the single tuna fish at Japan's Tsukiji fish market earlier in the day, smashing a previous record.

I would imagine a meal at Sushi-Zanmai would cost a whole lot more than a tin of Starkist or Ocean Pure Jon  :biggrin:
