Why does fish have to be so expensive? Paying $7+ just for one meal's worth

Unless it's blue fin tuna or chili and sea bass, you shouldn't pay more than $6 per pound of fish

If it was wild caught it's literally hunting an animal - albeit on a humongous scale - using specialized equipment and crews and fuel cost.

Wild caught anything takes more effort. Farmed fish is slightly cheaper but not by much because farmed fish still need huge nutrition inputs they'd otherwise get from the wild. We don't have corn plantations the size of Texas feeding fish the way we do with cattle. It costs a lot of money.

>> No.15484889

The fishermen here go on strike whenever their catch is sold at less than $6/lb, they physically cannot make profit at that rate.

everybody always talks about lab grown beef and chicken but when are we gonna start doing lab grown fish and seafood? shit's already way too expensive as is and lab growing might mean less mercury content in the meat. but i don't know for sure because i'm not a scientits

Enjoy that price, because it's probably going to get more expensive as dumb fucks overfish the ocean depleting populations.

Don't they accumulate less because the don't live as long as most wild fish?

I can't speak for all types of farmed fish, but some like farmed salmon are more unhealthy to eat due to the shit tier food they are fed as well as containing PCBs, something to do with the fat which absorbs toxins.
