I pretty sure a resturant in Calagry got 1 of these last year I believe, it was worth 50000 or something like that.....

maybe but i doubt it....if they did it was a fish that the japanese wholesaler refussed for some reason.
2 main factors
fish was stressed and meat became lower grade
or fat content was not high enough.
also we dont have a high class japanese resturaunt in cowtown....and edo didnt buy it lol

I'm not surprised. It costs nearly that much to get a decent walleye for the pan.

Go out to one of the "collapsed" lakes that have great walleye fishing and ZERO limit. Catch 754lbs of walleye and let us know what the cost is when F&W catch you! Probably be about the same cost from what I've read.
