still tied up down on the south shore, N.S.
what pisses me off is everyone promotes "buy local" but the restaurants that charged 29.95 for a lobster dinner 10 years ago when the price was 10.00 plus a pound, but now that its under 5 bucks the retail price is still 29.95 at most restaurants where steak is only 19.95.
one local retaurant owner in Pubnico gets them off the wharf and sells a lobster dinner in his own restaurant for under 15 bucks for a dinner
I don't know if its the store owners or the middle men that drive the final price though the roof, but the money should ber given to the fishermen. Some local guys in sou'west Nova would peddle fish out the back of their trucks for 5.50 to 6.00 bucks when market price was 4 or under. Had one buddy set up in Halifax on the strret corner and sell 500 pounds in an hour.....sure pisses the dealers off
