An Arm and a Leg for a Scallop.

Did somebody say SEA SCALLOPS? 

In this day and age prices are at RECORD HIGHS.


She loves her scallops, and she's got a BAD CASE of the GOUT.
Various factors have contributed to this gnarly price spike which will be passed along allllll the way to YOU the consumer. Limited supply of local sea scallops have pushed the price skyward and interestingly enough, the lasting effects of the tsunami and earthquake in Japan have made them a less aggressive contributor to the US Market.

By now you must be really tired of me bitchin' and carryin' on about high prices, natural disasters, climate change and saving the most endangered species of all, the fishermen. I don't blame you, I can be a real pain in the ass.


Just don't let this itty-bitty price-y thing-y get you down. The scallop cloud has a huge silver lining: local scallop fishermen are getting paid well for their harvest and WE LIKE THAT because we want them to stay in business.

Local Homeless gets paid in Sea Scallops.
If you find yourself in the shits, buy lobsters instead! Lobbie-Lobs are cheap right now, but remember Scallops Are Great and you should continue to eat them too.
