An adult bluefin tuna weighs about 450 pounds on average, and the price can vary based on a few different factors. On the east coast, a bluefin tuna will cost around $40 per pound. But in Japan, they run for upwards of $200. Many chefs believe that during the winter months, tuna from Japan is much better than tuna from America. The Wall Street Journal reported that cuts of the record-breaking tuna will be sold at regular prices ranging from $1.75 for a piece of the “akami” red meat to $5.45 for a slab of “otoro,” or fatty tuna, draped over a nugget of pressed rice. If sold at cost, each piece could be sold for as much as $96.
One extravagant demonstration of the increasing value of bluefin tuna occurred in 2013, when an owner of a Japanese sushi restaurant chain paid a record $1,763,000 for the first bluefin tuna sold at the renowned Tsukiji fish market in Tokyo (Associated Press 2013).
Sushi magnate Kiyoshi Kimura stunned foodies around the world in 2019 when he paid a record-high 333.6 million yen ($2.9 million) for a single bluefin tuna at the first auction of the year.

Wholesale prices. In 2024, the approximate wholesale price range for Australia tuna is between US$ 2.73 and US$ 13.65 per kilogram or between US$ 1.24 and US$ 6.19 per pound(lb).
