Just watched on the morning news. $20.90 a pound at Granville Island as it all going to Shanghai and being sold at $80 a pound. Commercial guys happy as they are getting rich. Again here is our resource and we can't afford to put it on our own table.
Wow they will just eat anything there at any price...I thought I would share.. I have eaten some strange thing on business trip there. There was in a small restaurant that had these small crabs in beijing they just grab them and put them in there soup... And yes there live....Not sure type of crab 100's of them....
Its kind of cruel....Now that I look at the photo being tied up for dinner.. Hard to tell these by photo are about the size of a large prawn... I am sure they were $5-7 dollars each...
Last time I was on Granville Island I was speaking with those who were working the seafood store....all the dungys sold are Seattle caught crabs.
They are not BC caught crabs.
Not surprised the commercial fleet is willing to sell our resource to line their own pockets of a very very small minority. Commercial Prawn opening this week in Vancouver. Soon to be no prawns left for anyone. Sold locally? Yah right.
Next comes the commercial crab opening in Mid June....soon to be no crab left for anyone too. If the natives are protectors of the land, the commercial fleet would be the destroyers.
on another related shellfish note, live lobster was $7.21/lb 2 weeks ago. Now, nearly double that.
Gas prices....happy with the new norm of $1.40 plus?
