Crazy Fish in Japan

[BigJ]

And that is the norm here, you want good fish you have to pay for it here. $500K US for a fish is certainly not unheard of. And yes there are $1K plus shrimp, again this price is nothing special, although the shrimp are.

Although it looks like a nice shop and I am guessing the shop was called "africa", they have had much better stock than what is there now. The ban is really sucking right now.

You'r a very lucky man, Just to see that kind of stock.. Let alone keep it.
