Expensive foods are not necessarily tempting, but the reason why they are overpriced is certainly interesting.For this reason, in this article, we have tried to introduce 10 of the most expensive seafood and also describe their unusual price.However, this article does not mention the foods in which gold is used.
Because it is obvious that the use of gold sheets even on a seasonal salad can increase its price by several hundred thousand times.Therefore, the seafood collected in this list is expensive in nature.

But what made the price of this fish go up so much? The first reason that was often seen in other foods on this list is the lack of this fish in nature. In fact, according to the announcement of the IUCN, bluefin tuna is among the endangered species, and for this reason, hunting them is considered illegal in many cases. Another factor that makes this fish so expensive is the law of supply and demand. Because the meat of this fish has a good taste and is high in fat, in addition, the meat of this fish is very suitable for sushi slices and has many fans in Japan.

4. baby eel:
one of the strangest foods that is served today at a price of 2000 dollars per serving is baby eel.This food was once used as food for workers and even some livestock, today it is known as a luxury food.But since eels are endangered today, their hunting is considered illegal in many cases, and this factor has caused the price to rise very high.
5. Frittatalabester (King Shrimp Frittata)
