Clams?? How about Saki or Sapporo...2 years ago we went deep sea fishing. Caught a 130# YellowFin Tuna. Now that was good Sashimi...yum yum

If you are exceptionally good at the sport and have the correct licenses, permits, etc, spearfishing can be profitable. Depending on demand and locations, Grouper can go $4 a pound and lobster for sometimes $7 a pound depending on size. Other fish like AJ's, only a buck. In Florida, no one may sell/buy even a single fish without having a commercial permits and fines are huge. I see alot of people who will come off of a party barge that caught fish and sell it to someone watching them at the docks clean it. Don't sell your catch if you aren't legal.

It isn't surprising news if we think the Sashimi price. How many pieces can you get per $30?

Giant bluefin tuna are sold (to the Japanese market) from the Atlantic Coast of Canada /U.S.A about 6/9 $ per lb depends of the quality of the "meat"...

Yellowfin and Blackfin are the dominant tuna species off of South Florida. And remember...You Can Tune a Piano, But You Can't Tuna Fish.

Don't know where you are coming up with $6-$9 a pound for bluefin. Here in NC, yellowfin goes for that amount and bluefin runs from $23 - $32 depending on how many have been caught, how the fish has been prepped prior to the dock, etc.
