Get the price of lobster down...so I can buy it again. Need a treat sometimes...but not at $60/lb.
While they’re at it, bring food labelling laws.
I want to know where my food originated.
Never buy seafood from China. Never. Always check where it’s from.
The price you listed $60/lb is a grin getter to me. I was stationed at the submarine base in Groton Conn in 1973. The lobster boats would bring the catch up the river and get them graded and sold. Those buyers would cull the one clawed ones out and we sailors could buy them at less than a $1.50/lb. Granted we didn’t have a lot of money but me and some M-div guys and our wives ate high on the lobster on special occasions once in a while. Us guys drank beer and cooked the lobster because the girls couldn’t drop them in the pot. They did eat them though. They called the one claws culls. We called them great.
The virtue of shellfishness.
MAFGA = Make American Fish Great Again
I’ve been to every part of the US pretty much. Everywhere I’ve been. Local fish is the best. You want seafood go to the coast. You want trout or Salmon go to the northwest. You want catfish, crappie, or bass head south. You want to sweat go south for crawfish. The US is a prime location for good fish. Trump knows good stuff when he tastes it. I won’t even start on the other meats.

Make American Auqaculture Great Again
Never heard of the “shore dinner”, but that’s way too much food for one person for one meal.
I was recently in Japan and did an extensive cruise. Signs of aquaculture were frequent in Japanese waters.
Fishing/mining in international waters has become quite the bone of contention among Nations.
My question is what happened to catfish farms here in America? 30 years or so ago they were a new thing, and farm raised catfish is fine eating but all I can find now are from china and Vietnam. They call them swai.
I dont buy them anymore.
“My question is what happened to catfish farms here in America?”
Government probably over-regulated it right out of business just like they do with everything.
Consider it a worthy challenge.
I’ll admit it is hard for me to imagine “too much” shellfish.
YES!!
