Eat Less Chiken

[jhetley]

Maine lobstermen (and lobsterwomen) face certain doom.  Prices at the dock have plummeted due to the economic slowdown, and the costs of running a lobster boat have rocketed through the roof.  Ain't worth headin' out t' pull traps.

Thus does the crisis in consumer confidence hit home on the Maine coast.  Folks, even if your 401K has tanked, boil up a couple of bugs for dinner!  Save our way of life!

Yeah, no question that buying live shellfish away from the coast gives the middlemen most of the take. It's funny, but even 20 miles inland, our supermarket lobsters probably come by way of Nova Scotia . . .

Most crabs sold in Maryland restaurants come from Thailand.
