I have heard that for the last couple of years, the rise in ocean temperatures has caused an abundance of lobster, bringing the prices down dramatically. Yet here in Mexico, that is not reflected in our local restaurants. So I took a look today at wholesale prices. How much profit should a restaurant make off lobster?
Granted, these are Maine prices, but they do reflect the overall reality of lobster fishing these days.
