Sushi king pays record $3.1m for endangered bluefin tuna in Japan
The winning auction bid for the enormous tuna was more than double the price fetched five years ago
A record $3.1 m (£2.4 m) has been paid for a giant bluefin tuna at Tokyo’s new fish market, which replaced the world-famous Tsukiji late last year.
The winning bid for the prized but endangered species at the predawn auction was more than double the 2013 annual New Year auction.
