A $600.00 sushi dinner consists of the Cream of the Crop of Tuna. Some Bluefins bring in over 20K each if they have the highest fat content possible.
Comercial fisherman are about to exterminate this species from our oceans.
It won't be much longer and you will have no more Bluefins.
Huge schools of Bluefin tuna are spotted by fisherman using "Spotter Planes" (VERY ILLEGAL)
and then their fishing fleets are scrambled in to surround the school with huge circular nets. 10's of thousands of fish are caught in one swoop.
They then keep the fish caged up and fattened up until a mass harvest takes place by simply just closing in on their nets.
Most all goes to Japan.
The species will be wiped out soon.

On my last trip to Brisbane I was mostly drinking the standard bitters at the local pubs. However, I was able to pick up a case of "Coonawarra Old Ale" -can't find it anywhere here in the states. But it's a GREAT ale! You should try looking it up I'm sure you'll be pleased with it. I'm hoping Australia starts importing the stuff soon!
