Bluefin Tuna: The most prized and expensive type, known for its rich, buttery flavor and firm texture. It is the highest grade of tuna, suitable for raw consumption.

As you might imagine a lot of suchi can be made from 1 lb. of Tuna. Expand that over the 536 lbs & sent to the other restaurants in the restaurant chain & I think it's obvious that a lot of money will be made from the purchase of that Tuna/
