Tuna sold at Tokyo’s Toyosu Market vary in size. The standout example from the January 5, 2026 New Year auction weighed 243 kg (535 lb)—a record-setting fish, not a typical daily average. Bluefin tuna can reach about 3 m (nearly 10 ft) and 300 kg (about 660 lb), but the sources available do not establish the average weight of an individual tuna sold at Toyosu on an ordinary day.
What is the Tokyo fish market?
Tokyo’s current wholesale fish market is Toyosu Market. Its fish operations opened on October 11, 2018, replacing the Tsukiji wholesale market. The Tokyo Metropolitan Government provides visitor information and accepts applications to view tuna auctions from the market’s observation deck. Tokyo Metropolitan Government: Toyosu Market
How much did the famous 2026 auction tuna weigh?
The Pacific bluefin tuna sold at Toyosu’s first auction of 2026 weighed 243 kg (535 lb), according to the Associated Press. That is a concrete example of a very large auction fish, not a representative weight for tuna sold there day to day. Associated Press report, January 5, 2026
The winning bid was 510 million yen. The New Year first auction is a highly publicized tradition, and the price of an Oma tuna at that event can be far above ordinary auction prices. Buyer Kiyoshi Kimura said the purchase was “in part for good luck.” Associated Press report, January 5, 2026

Is a 243 kg tuna normal at Toyosu?
No source reviewed gives a current, representative average weight for an individual tuna sold at Toyosu during an ordinary trading day. The Associated Press reports that hundreds of tuna are sold in ordinary early-morning auctions, but that number describes volume, not the weight of each fish. It would be misleading to treat the 243 kg New Year auction fish as the daily norm.
How large can bluefin tuna get?
A NOAA-hosted species-and-market report gives bluefin tuna an upper range of about 3 m (nearly 10 ft) in length and 300 kg (about 660 lb) in weight. This is a species-level upper-range reference, not a measurement of the average fish sold at Toyosu. NOAA-hosted bluefin tuna report
