NOPE, Japan consumes about 50 percent of the worlds tuna catch every year.

Of the total worldwide catch of 1.2 million tons of tuna, Japanese consume 600,000 tons: 500,000 tons as sashimi and the remaining 100,000 tons in cans. In Japan, 250,000 tons of tuna are imported. In short, Japan is the largest market for tuna in the world.

Unless you live in one of those counties, right?

By the way I've eaten whale, not that good. I've eaten it as sashimi and as whale bacon. The sashimi was god awful, and the whale bacon was only a little better.
