Towards the end of each week we look forward to hitting one of the local markets that has a Amish store attached to it. Trenton and Columbus are two of them. They're open Thursday through Saturday, off for the Holy Day in Sunday. Yesterday we hit the one in Doylestown as the other two hd delayed opening or the Amish didn't make the trip due to the snow they got out in Lancaster PA.
As we walked around I stopped at the fish market and saw some striped bass for sale. "Wild caught $21.99 a pound". I compared that to other offerings, "Fresh salmon....$14.99 a pound, tuna $27.99 and Halibut $28.99 a pound". So if someone catches a 40 pound fish and fillets it up to say 30 pounds, that would cost you, at this market, $659.70. Now I know why guys cast nets in Long Island and ride their bikes upon and down the Cape Cod Canal.
It's amazing these fish can survive the constant predation....
