Elvers
Elvers are tiny little beasts, but they come at a mighty cost: just last year they sold for $1,300 a pound in the US. So why does such a slimy, slithery delicacy cost so much? It's been that way ever since the monstrous tsunami that hit Japan in 2011 and took out tons of its eel farms. The demand has been on the rise ever since, and in Europe, elvers populations are becoming endangered. Don't expect to see these on local restaurant menus, however. You're more likely to come across a dish with them in a European Michelin-star restaurant.
