Fish, shrimp, lobster, crab and so many other seafood seems to come from Indonesia, Thailand, and other southeast Asian countries. Meanwhile, we live less than 3 hours away from the Pacific Ocean. Home to some of the most bountiful seafood in the world but you go to a market in the harbors and the prices are outlandish.
They come over here to fish, take it back to their country to process then ship it back to us.
We rented a house on the Oregon coast hoping to buy fresh seafood for a seafood bake...omg,very little available and outrageous prices...we would have done better buying at costco in Portland.
