Amazing the mark-up considering the fact that the guy who worked his ass off to catch and supply the fish gets paid SHIT per pound.
Man when I was a kid Seafood was the cheapest stuff you could buy, we
could actually sell it off the dock at the end of the day and make a few extra bucks. Government got involved and said it wasn't FDA regulated or inspected. So the stuff that was swimming a couple hours ago and Super fresh, turned into One to three day (sometimes longer) FRESH!!
Sad, very Sad.

Isn't that true, remember going with my mom most Friday's to get fresh fish off the boats! Those were the days.
