Book excerpt: The bluefin tuna is the largest finfish in the ocean--as much as ten feet long, weighing up to 1,500 pounds. In Japan, where raw bluefin meat is a great delicacy, a single fish can bring $30,000. In this stirring account of a heroic, embattled way of life, Whynott details the competition and camaraderie among the fishermen, and their battle with conservationists who wish to limit the bluefin harvest.
