The above is 3 months old. I bumped it because of a NY Times story which said "That same demand has exacerbated a New England seafood tradition in a different way: Up and down the coast of New England, the price of lobster is at historic highs."
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/11/style/lobster-roll-spike.html Don't know the situation in NS. It was very complex. Lobster news is not an everyday read here, but due to conditions last year published here, I sometimes take notice. Read the story if you want. One user comment was: We have a market here on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia that sell lobster that has been flown in fresh from Nova Scotia. One has to pre-order. I purchase five small packages to feed a family of four. It was just under $110 CDN. If we were in Maine we would be happy to stand in a queue and pay $34 USD for the beautiful lobster roll that was pictured. Another said: BOSTONJune 11 Lobster prices always vary during the year and whether theu are hard or soft shell. Last year, and years before, I was able to get hard shell small lobsters on a good sale at $5.99/lb, larger lobsters at $7.99 and $9.99/lb. at local supermarkets and fish markets around Boston and on the Cape. This year the same lobsters are $13.99, $15.99, and $19.99/lb. and are in lobster tanks that crowded with many other lobsters. "piled high" in the tanks. There may be a shortage but I don't see it in the stores. Just higher prices. Which of course I am not part of the demand for. I don't see people lining up for them. So I am not sure where the high demand is coming from. --- Some comments have replies, which I didn't read except for: During the height of the Covid lockdown, American lobster could not be shipped. Canadian lobster fisherman made a killing selling theirs and meanwhile their US cohort tried hard to sell locally. ----- and 2 more; one says the oceans are overfished, and Maine waters are warming up and lobster are heading north. In the story, where a lobster roll can range from 25 to 32 bucks, one restaurant pays for gas and bait directly to the boat. I have no idea about middlemen (or tarrifs or embargos or regulations.) And isn't it a crime to charge $10 for a hot dog. |
