6. As much as I am a sushi addict..

I have to agree with you. Plus there aren't many blue fin left, AND mostly due to being caught for sushi, and mostly by the Japanese. it sure is delicious but.......

3. I thought Bluefin that size were worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. He sent it to get stuffed.

"Most of the fish were released, but the giant tuna and marlin were kept and will be sent to the taxidermist.

Adams, 42, told Auckland Now that he'd like to place the tuna on the wall of his home, replacing a 30-pound snapper, but his wife isn't sure she wants something so large as a wall decoration.

"She says it will be like mounting a sofa," Adams said."

7. They are worth that much..

That one is probably worth nearly $500,000 at the Tsukiji Market in Tokyo.

8. Seems a little too big.

I understand taxidermizing something like a deer or elk head. That way you get some good meat and something to remember the hunt by. But stuffing a bluefin tuna that big, no thank you. That fish would take up an entire wall and honestly doesn't look cool. Tuna tastes great, but I think the taxidermy process ruins the meat for fish.
