Seafood Prices ?
Hi everyone , yesterday is was told that the oceans are doing very well . So I was wondering how much seafood prices have been dropping in your area ?
 La Paz , Ensenada ,Cabo , loreto, GN , Seems to me prices have been on the
rise. Is it only my bad choice of places to buy ?
Whats the deal ?

We bought legitimate grande sized shrimp WITH THE HEAD ON for the first time at a big shrimp farming and net dragging town below us in Sonora. 80
pesos/kilo. I thought they were a much better deal than the headless for 120/kilo. Not that much weight in a head and we like to fry some up in
cornstarch, a la Asia, and eat them whole. These were not the blue ones but the red ones.
Prices were up this year, slightly, over last year. I think last year (or was it the year before) that there was a temporary ban on shrimp importation
into the US and prices REALLY dropped.

ligui, Must be inflation because I'm sure your source for " yesterday is was told that the oceans are doing very well " couldn't be misinformed

Out here on the Pacific coast I was told by too many people that the purchase of abalone was forbidden from any source whatsoever, to believe they
"were pulling my hair". The cooperativa won't sell it. I asked about "en veda", in season, and they said "No se vende nunca". This sounds really weird
but someone mentioned six hundred pesos a kilo. I don't know. I stand confused.

you can buy it canned (processed) but don't be caught with it fresh.

I am also skeptical. only fresh stuff I have seen are the trimmings (and they were not that fresh). I did see someone years ago trying to sell stuff
as Abalone in Vizcaino, but whatever it was, it wasn't fresh abalone!

Here are some recent fish prices in BCS today. Prices range from the beach guys since it's expensive early and less later as the day winds down and
the ice melts and the fish is less fresh, also prices vary depending on your friendship with the vendor.
Perico filet = 120/k
Amarrila Atun filet = 50-60/k
Camaron medium = 80-120/k
whole Sierra = 40/k
Bass = 50/k
Lots of white fish filets in the 60/k which is most popular such as

This guy catches octopus all day, he told me he smashes them with a rock and grabs them, but I don't know what the process for catching pulpo is, I
have heard it's better frozen then unfrozen, though I don't know. But this guy is amazing, he will enter a beach where you are swimming and see very
little and he catches pulpo for hours in his bare hands and his rock. I am looking for a picture of my favorite fish store now...

$15.26 at today's XE currency conversion rate.
So 7.63 a US dollar per 1.1 lbs.
