believe discovered the problem that causes food inflation, apparently due to americans still wanting to eat well when 42 m are on food stamp program. given the case, the problem of food inflation should ameliorate as and when dollar ceases to be global reserve currency.

G, you ate MY lobster!!!!

since we are on the subject of competition for food, another outrage is geoduck, or marugai. I remember being about to get them, live, for a couple of bucks a pound. Now they have all but vanished. During my recent visit to Seattle, I did not see a single one for sale at the various fish mongers at Pike Place Market, where I used to see mountains of them stacked up.

Good sushi bars here charges over $10 for a couple of small bites, or I can go to the local Japanese market and buy some cleaned pieces for $99 a pound.

I think I am soon going to be staring at the menu for double cheeseburgers with large fries while you fat cats in HK eat all the delicacies.

My mistake re california lobsters. As I know that they have tried to introduce atlantic lobsters off of british columbia, to much failure

Funny just as I hit send, my business partner - corrected me and said he had caught many spiny lobsters off of california.

Anyways since I just ate a big spiny lobster tonight in hong kong. I think I maybe part of the problem not the solution

Best regards

G, I can assure you that the spiny lobsters are off the coast in California. I know some of the local fishermen.

Baja lobsters are long gone, after years of unregulated fishing. Places like Puerto Nuevo serves lobsters smaller than a medium shrimp, all caught much further south of the border.

Just like wild abalone, I think lobsters would be off the restaurant menus in my life time.

THIS IS A TOTAL OUTRAGE

The California lobster season is upon us. Aside from spotted prawns, lobsters are one of the most delicious foods still harvested off the coast of California.

Less than a few years ago, you can get a just legal (about 1.3 lbs) lobster for less than $20. The price this season has doubled to $40.
catalinaop.com

The reason: THOSE DAMN CHINESE ARE BUYING THEM ALL UP AND WILLING TO PAY TOP PRICES.

What the hell is the world coming to? I don't care if China steals the jobs but leave MY lobsters alone.
