You can buy seafood from the fishermen’s market, or buy processed and packaged seafood at the supermarket. In general, there are two types of seafood, namely cheap and affordable food, and the most expensive seafood. The latter thing is said to require quite a big sacrifice, not only in terms of material, but also a place to taste it. Unlike premium beef or rare vegetables, expensive seafood has a high level of fragility, so inevitably the presentation must be really fresh, in order to maintain taste, texture, and of course deliciousness. Here are the six most expensive processed seafood in the world according to https://www.taylorshastings.com/.
Bluefin tuna (bluefin) are generally sold from the Tosoyu fish auction center — which replaces Tsukiji’s role — in the Tokyo Bay area, Japan. The highest record for this type of tuna was sold for US$ 176,000 (around Rp. 2.4 billion) in 2003. What makes it expensive is the right amount of fat, so it tastes perfectly savory in almost all parts of the meat.
Caviar for US$ 25,162.88 (equivalent to Rp. 355 million) has a unique characteristic, where when you eat it, you will feel a complex and rich taste. This native Iranian caviar comes from a rare collection of roe fish, and is processed in such a way that it reduces the water content by 75 percent. The packaging is also designed to be very special, using a container made of 24 carat gold.
The Lord Dudley Hotel in Sydney, Australia, creates a local traditional pie into an ultra-gourmet version priced at US$ 9,800, or the equivalent of Rp. 138 million. Dubbed the Posh Pie, aka the world’s most expensive pie, this intricate creation is crafted by an executive chef with the finest beef and lamb blends, quality dough, and 24-karat gold leaf and dust garnishes.
This is the most expensive omelette in the world, which is the creation of the team of Le Parker Meridien, New York. The composition of this US$ 2,000 (equivalent to Rp. 28.2 million) dish is very special, consisting of 10 ounces of Sevurga caviar, meat of one lobster tail, six fresh eggs, cream, spring onions and lobster stock. This sumptuous treat is served on a 18-karat gold-plated Yukon potato bowl.
Known as a member of the deadly fish family, one drop of poison from a puffer fish can cause an early death. Therefore, the presentation must be done by a certified chef. Currently, there are fewer than 50 restaurants worldwide authorized to serve puffer fish. The price varies from US$ 12 (around Rp. 169,000) to US$ 200 (around Rp. 2.8 million) per serving plate, which consists of a series of richly flavored thin slices.
These are super-large oysters caught in the Coffin Bay region of South Australia. King oysters, as many people call them, sell for US$ 100 (equivalent to Rp. 1.4 million) per kilogram. These oysters really have the wow factor, they taste amazing and the texture is really memorable.
