3. Bluefin tuna, $3.1 million

Sushi fans know you get what you pay for. High-quality maki, nigiri, and sashimi can set diners back a pretty penny. However, in 2019, Japanese sushi restaurant owner Kiyoshi Kimura created a whole new category of expensive sushi when he paid a record-setting $3.1 million for a single fish. The giant bluefin tuna, which was sold at Tokyo's famed Toyosu fish market, weighed in at a whopping 608 pounds.
