They will tell you a price... then you can counter (if you want to try and pay less).
Near Bahia Agua Verde, a panga came ashore at our camp (we were not near town or others)... and offered to sell us lobsters! Oh man, what a treat! (I
don't remember how much, it was in 2001)

Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

And if anyone knows what the going rate is per kilo on scallops (cayo de acha) at the fish markets in TJ on 5th street. I need about 3 kilos next
week.

A San Felipe resident recently purchased shrimp
form a vendor on the Malecon in SF, after removing
the ice that came in the bag with the shrimp,
it came out to approx 20% less than a kilo in weight.
Making the price some $18 plus instead of the $15 or so

I always carry a 16 oz can of "whatever"....to check the scale, why? Oh...I must have been buying from that same vendor you did!!!!! 
I have found that buying right off the boats is cheaper.......obviously fresher. I cannot help you with the current prices unfortunately.

The divers like to get lobster at full moon - in the remote coastal areas with no electricity and ice issues to deal with.
Therefore - freshed and best if bought at full moon times.

Seafood prices in Baja? A tad on the high side, maybe more than a tad. You don't want to know what I pay for shrimp down along the Gulf Coast of the
USA.

Don't know what he's charging right now...but Ramon was having a slow day getting rid of his last kilo of shrimp in Mulege today. I looked in his
bucket...and recognized them.
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

I buy fish at Popotla weekly and have become familiar with the prices.
All prices are pesos per kilo The price may be just a little lower on a slow day
Yellowtail 35
Halibut 50-70
Rockcod 35
Red Snapper (huachinango) 40
Rosterfish 35
Corvina 30
Bluefin Tuna 50-70
mullet 20
Barracuda 30
Fressh Oysters shucked are 10 pesos each.
Stone crabs are 100 -150 pesos a dozen depending on size
The large "King" Crabs are 50 pesos each
An exceptionally large one could bring 100 pesos.
Steamer clams from the sea of Cortez go for 10 pesos a dozen in the Mexicali Valley.
Of course, there is always a tip due when they clean it for you.
Good luck

the co-op buys all legal sized lobster from the fishermen in the co-op for processing and they cannot sell to the public...I have seen shorts sold for
12 dollars a kilo by pirate fishermen at high risk of being busted....on the other side I have seen lobster go for 30 dollars a pound whole
