Can he justify the markup beyond ‘these morons will pay it’?

Sounds like they need a few more busloads of illegals.

No need to justify it..............for now. But long term, will the other customers come back if he needs them?
But to your question, “It is too high if you’re paying, not enough if you are getting.” is something I say often. Between regulations, inflation, etc, why would anyone be in business today?

But at beloved East Hampton delicatessen the Red Horse Market, they’re charging $120 per pound for the delicacy.So what? No one is forced to buy it. If rich Hamptonites want to pay for it, that is their preogative.

People who pay $120.00 per pound for lobster salad are going to have a time of it when/if the supply chain goes down and they’re stuck with canned tuna if it is even available.

and what is the cost on the marked up food?
What’s the lease cost on the deli?
Why is justification needed?

They bought the raw fish; now sell them the hot wine.

We went on an Alaskan cruise last summer and Alaskan King Crab was $75/pound...IN ALASKA!
One restauranteur explained that there were prohibitions against taking Alaskan crab to let the populations rebound, so the “Alaskan” king crab was imported from Norway.
Talk about a major disappointment!

Publix’s $5 Wednesday sushi used to be quite good, but inflation has cut the quality to unacceptable (for me). Now I wait for Publix ice cream to go on sale 2-for-$10...

Not really.
Lobster is not as expensive as it used to be. Most of the price in lobster salad is the labor. And while lobster is a pain to get out of it's armor it is not as bad as crab.

What is a ‘serving’ of lobster salad? Maybe 4 ounces?
30 bucks for a salad isn’t unreal in ritzy land. Salads for $20 aren’t unusual in any upscale place anywhere. DC places catering to Congress and bureaucrats are similar.

Perhaps this will be beneficial for the lobster community. 🙂👍

A pound of lobster salad - like a sick chicken - is worth what someone will give you for it.

Is any more excuse required?
