JJReyes Posted February 11 Posted February 11 1 hour ago, Jack Peterson said: Good job we are here then and not elsewhere Although the topic is tuna prices in the Philippines, I wanted to mention about a very popular television show, "Wicked Tuna." Commercial boats, licensed to catch Blue Fin tuna, compete with one another as to who can catch the biggest and best quality large fish. The heads, guts and fins are removed before weighing. Wholesale purchase price range from $8 to $24 per pound or $17.60 to $52.80 per kilo. By the time it reaches Japan, the dress weight probably causes the price to triple or quadruple after cutting into slabs for the restaurant market. Nice to know that prices are low in the Philippines. Must eat more since I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The restaurant and their employees consider the practice insulting. It's the same as saying, "Here's additional money because you are getting lousy wages." I have seen waiters running after foreign customers to return money they left at the table. Edited February 12 by JJReyes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
