Sea bass & fluke $$$$$
Couldn't believe it yesterday when I went to the local market for some fish...Fluke and Sea Bass were $18 a pound and that was some of the less expensive stuff in the case!!!
Halibut was $29.99 !
Amazing the mark-up considering the fact that the guy who worked his ass off to catch and supply the fish gets paid SHIT per pound.
Man when I was a kid Seafood was the cheapest stuff you could buy, we
could actually sell it off the dock at the end of the day and make a few extra bucks. Government got involved and said it wasn't FDA regulated or inspected. So the stuff that was swimming a couple hours ago and Super fresh, turned into One to three day (sometimes longer) FRESH!!
Sad, very Sad.
