Ordered up some fresh bluefin tuna for a private party this weekend and was shocked when it showed up, but this time in a good way. usually its $7-15 a pound and you have to buy 10-15lb piece.
Wholesale price to my door was $1.95 a pound 
called my sales rep just to make sure it was correct and I wont be seeing another invoice.
13.3lbs @ $1.95 a lb, $25.94
In comparasion weve been paying about $3.85 for ground hereford beef.
ordered a few more pieces for fish taco specials at the restaurant on Tuesday.
Ive been in the restaurant industry 20 years and have never seen it so low, or really any fish that low.
Heard a few different things, the seine boat got 140 or so fish the first day and crashed the price, but they had to catch or the quota would have been lowered for next season, another is the low fat content, i keep hearing all kind of things so cant say what or why the reasons are 100%.
The tuna was amazing, melt in your mouth.
Cut some steaks for tomorrows event, made some ceviche for staff meal and sesame seed crusted and seared some for lunch.
anyone have any insight to the real reasons?
