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.

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.
