Marlin worth $2.6 million? Unbelievable.
Improper English in the title of this news article? Priceless.
.
(‘Him ate it’ is improper. It should be ‘He and his village ate it’)
Aside from the improper English in the title, the figures are off as well.
the article states that Blue Marlin is sold for $30,000 per kilo. so if the fish were worth 2.6 million dollars at $30,000 per kilo, that equates to a little under 87 kilos to be sold.
The problem is blue marlin doesn’t sell for $30,000 a kilo. It does still command a high price but I haven’t seen anything over $700 a kilo.
a little under 87 kilos of fish at $700 a kilo is still over $60,000, No small sum but not millions of dollars.
