Scup.. 4 pounds for $30??? wtf?...
I see all kinds of fish for sale at here in NY at Wegmans, they have a huge seafood dept..
Scup, Sea bass, Mullet, Weaks[ sea trout],Blues, Red hake, Silver hake,, both are called hake, or both are called whiting, depends,,Salmon, rainbows, all kinds of flatfish, swords, Mako, Cod, scrod, Pollock,Haddock, even skate!!!... A friend bought some skate there.. It was inedible.. he brought it back.. tasted exactly like ammonia he told me... Even though I am 230 or so miles from the ocean, and many people don't know the habits of salt water fish, they buy them here at prices that are simply astronomical. Blues are about the only fish that are still reasonably priced.. except for perhaps poison frozen Tilapia from China... People buy that rotten crap too..
anyway, I am now thinking we just can't compete... The money is just too much for us to overcome... I hate to be a bummer, but with the passing of each new year, I fear some sweeping new legislation that will be strongly enforced.. Some kind of "emergency environmental act", that will just keep us from fishing at all... I am 59.. I now honestly think I will see it happen before I go and meet my Maker... bob
