hey Gregg..that's pretty cheap as it works out to around 154 pesos each lobster which like half of what I was quoted here. Yeah, I thought it was
really strange that the price jumped so high so fast too.....but looks like they will have to lower it now to reflect the market prices. I heard today
they might start fishing lobster again next week....we'll see. Meanwhile, lots of folks are asking to lend money to see them through...offering to
give the papers on their fancy trucks in exchange for loans....selling properties cheaper etc.
It also appears that the BIG deal on selling all the ejido land from Tortugas to San Jauanico has been shelved too....so all those ejiditarios with
$$$ signs in their eyes are bummed.

Economics in the lobster cooperatives is in a different dimension.

A buddy of mine is in the seafood wholesale biz and he told me that live California spiny lobster is going for about $38/lb plus air freight to Japan
- been going like this for years. I'm surprised the Baja co-ops can't get in on this.

It's looking like the price of lobster/lb. is getting close to the price of chicken/lb. I'm gonna just stick with mud bugs, they taste better and don't cost as much.
