And while talking about seafood records, there's one from UK.

Most Expensive Seafood Hamper -world record set by The Fish Society

(source: World Records Academy) HINDHEAD, Surrey, UK -- Containing 17 kinds of seafood sourced from the four corners of the world, The Fish Society’s ‘Caviar & Crustacean Blowout and Atomic’ seafood hampers that can feed up to 30 at a cost of £2,500 - setting the world record for the Most Expensive Seafood Hamper.

The Most Expensive Seafood Hamper is carefully balanced between ready-peeled items and fish still in its shell (less efficient but an essential element in the excitement). 9.3kgs of edible weight (15kgs gross), so even the most gluttonous guests will be sated.

The Most Expensive Seafood Hamper contains 17 kinds of seafood including 16 inch long giant Siberian crab legs, extra large crab claws from Chile, freshly cooked native UK lobster, four kinds of prawns including monstrous prawns from Madagascar weighing in at half a pound each, assorted more humble but nevertheless crucial shellfish, and as the magnificent centerpiece, 750g of Sevruga caviar. Caviar & Crustacean Blowout and Atomic’ includes double helpings of caviar and crab leg (11 kg edible weight).

Now, let's have some seafood ;)
