Last week a record was set, Hong Kong sushi restaurant owner paid £25,000 for a single bluefin tuna. The fish was caught off coast of Japan’s northern city of Aomori and weighed in at 607 pounds – that’s approx £50 per pound!
The auction took place in the world’s largest fish market in central Tokyo. According to market officials, the record price was caused by a sharp decline in world tuna supply due to tighter international controls on the catch for bluefin tuna.
At present, the Japanese eat one quarter of the world’s total supply of tuna fish each year. Of course, this why bluefin tuna will most likely be extinct sometime in the next fifty years.

I’m drooling just writing about it, Belgian Chocolate Covered Popcorn is the fantastic invention of a company called Fudgie Wudgie in the States.
There’s not a lot to tell you… it says what it is on the tin, just thought you may like your popcorn with a twist!
Order here.

Apologies for the cheesy heading, I couldn’t believe someone would pay £42 for a jar of honey making it the most expensive honey in the world. You can pick up a jar at Harrods if it tickles your fancy and you have more money than sense.
So what do you get: 120g of honey made by bees fed on a special diet including herbs such as Siberian ginseng and echinacea. Apparently it has a strong taste similar to manuka honey and is made without artificial ingredients.
The honey, which is made in Israel, is supposed to be eaten by the teaspoonful in the morning and at night.
Hmmmm… I’m not convinced, send me a jar and that may change!

If you love game pie then welcome to possibly the most famous of them all, the Fortnum & Mason game pie and let me tell you that it’s worth every penny of the £35 for 1.5kg.
It tastes incredible and is truly one of the finest foods I have ever had. If you buy one and don’t like it… send it here!!!
Buy one today.
Christmas and caviar go together like Posh & Becks, you either love em’ or you hate them!
Personally I love it and therefore I needed to share this little gem with you, the luxury William Yeoward Fern Caviar Server with Spoon. Yeah… ok so it may be a little over the top at £375 to serve some fish eggs in… but caviar should be cherished and for all those who share my passion (and have £ to burn) then this is for you. Don’t forget that you need to obviously fill it with caviar too so add another £300 to the bill!!!
Buy one here.
