The Japanese are superstitious. The first fish caught on new years day has a value at auction. It’s believed eating this first fish is good luck. All the rest of the Tuna in Japan sell for regular prices.
Wicked Tuna Prices are only on T.V.
Yes true- During the wicked tuna season- the prices the fishermen get falls off then at end of season, it grows again- as the last of the tuna are caught and japan won’t be getting it much longer-
