[edit] Odd financial sentence
In Japan each fish sells for as much as 50 cents. The liver alone, considered a great delicacy, can cost $10.
"The liver alone" implies it has great worth relative to the rest of the fish, but is actually worth a whopping 2000% of the fish? This sounds ... fishy. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.109.37.169 (talk) 10:04, 13 December 2006 (UTC).
[edit] Consumption
Can the author, or someone else provide any references for this section? None of it makes sense. I find it hard to believe that a fish that lives in aphotic zones are 'widely used in cooking' in Europe. Also, with a fish that costs $150 USD, why would it be refered to as 'the poor man's lobster'? And furthermore, if the liver of the fish can sell for $100USD, why is the rest of this fish only worth $50? All of this is highly suspect. SJM 26 February 2007
