N75 lobster pricing ???? - oldtimer - 05-10-2023 There use to be the fisherperson and the buyer . Now there are 2 people before you get to the broker to take fish to the USA . When Trump got in the fish wars with China then he wanted to ( and did ) sell ( give ) US fish to Canada and to sell them like they were caught in Canadian quota's . So now the lobsters in the US are controlled by McDonald's investments which translates into if you don't do this Canada , then you are going to have a hard time getting wood into the US . This is what the " foreign " interference breaks down to .CONTROL !!!! China is our biggest buyer and by the nod of some one's head we have fish we can't sell to them , McDonald's BUY THEM BACK !!!! at whatever low price they want BUT !!!!!! the buyers in the stores see no reduction in their price . PHEW !!! only CBB could tell this better . If your not in it you don't see where the history of cheap fish at the wharf translates into high prices at the stores . The government of Canada bought the 3rd largest buyer of fish in the world and gave it to the Indiduos ( sp ) business so we have that to deal with . RE: N75 lobster pricing ???? - Negril75 - 05-10-2023 OT, I get your frustration with Government intervention!! It sucks!! I have no idea how things work and take your word for it. Those prices $19.99 USD are for 1.25 or 1.5 lobsters for it comes out to so for a pound and a half lobster a customer is forking out $29.98 USD. That's at a supermarket!! Price that out at a restaurant at market price and you're looking at a $45 dollar lobster dinner at least!! I like lobster but not nearly enough to pay those prices!! RE: N75 lobster pricing ???? - oldtimer - 05-10-2023 That said the lobster weighing 11/2 lb is about $11.00 cdn out of the boat . RE: N75 lobster pricing ???? - Negril75 - 05-10-2023 OT, That's about what I had expected. Next time I'm up in Maine I'll go to the dock and report back their prices. I'm sure pretty close to the numbers you're talking about!! RE: N75 lobster pricing ???? - oldtimer - 05-10-2023 I'll be waiting ~~~~ RE: N75 lobster pricing ???? - Negril75 - 07-09-2023 OT Since you have been waiting I didn't want to let you down. As of July 7, 2023 the price off the boat in Roque Bluffs, Maine was $6.00 USD softshell and $7.00 USD for hardshell. My son and I had a great lobster dinner for $20.79 this past Friday. It was fantastic!! RE: N75 lobster pricing ???? - oldtimer - 07-10-2023 Thank you for the update . The lobster dinners being sold at the lobster carnival went for $25 and the lobster rolls went for $15 . It looks as if the prices are some what similar .
