There's A Couple Of Suprises On The List
These Are The 5 Most Expensive Meats In The World

- How much: $135/lb.
- Approximately 20 to 40 people die every year from eating the puffer fish, which contains high concentrations of neurotoxins. Chefs must take great care during preparation to avoid serving poisonous cuts of meat or contaminating the edible portions.
- How Much: $24/piece.
- Ōtoro is the fattier and less abundant cut of meat, leading to a rich flavor that drives the huge price tags.
- How much: $140/lb.
- The black Iberian pig (“Jamon” = “Ham”… get it?) are allowed to roam freely before being switched to a diet of grains and acorns. If more grain is used in the feed, the pig will take on a rich ham flavor akin to prosciutto. More acorns on the other hand, will give the meat a unique, nutty flavor that pairs excellently with soft cheeses. The highest grades are strictly acorn-fed, leading to a higher price tag for this singular palette experience.
- How much: $300/lb.
- Wagyu (which literally translates to “Japanese cow”) is renowned for its marbling, producing some of the richest cuts of steak know to man. Many of these beloved bovine feature regional names, but none is more famous than the high end Kobe beef, which is simply a cut above.
- How Much: $2,500/animal
- The Ayam Cemani breed of chicken is definitely something to cluck about. Much like Ford’s Model T, this Ferrari-of-fowls comes in one color only a very sleek black. Due to hyperpigmentation, its meat, organs, and bones are black as night, as are the feathers, save for a green shimmer. The Indonesian bird is coveted in its homeland for the reported healing qualities of eating black meats.
