I was in the Navy and stationed in Maine in 1969. This Texas boy had never eaten lobster. We could buy lobsters off the boats for $1.00 per pound. My E-3 paycheck was about $76.00 per month so I did eat lobsters but only a couple times that year, and these were normal size lobsters, not giants.
Haha, exactly! Dropping that salmon would probably have everyone moving in slow motion, trying to save it mid-air like it’s in a movie! Have you ever had a kitchen mishap like that?
It's crazy just a little aluminum boat and a couple of rods add a pinch of skill and viola you can make a living. There's brokers at every doc. It's wild.
“We cook lobsters alive because it’s like giving them a little adventure before dinner. It’s like their final thrill ride-if they’re going down, they might as well experience a little excitement before becoming the main course!”
It’s fascinating right? And that story that the food became popular because it was initially exported as rations is actually very similar to very many other foods. Like it’s very common for a food to become like a cultural delicacy simply because it was very popular at a time of famine
You're so right! It's amazing how food can connect places we wouldn’t normally link together. Have you tried any dishes that blend different cultural influences like that?
So true! When I was in Scotland for a tour we had salmon at a restaurant and when the chef heard where we’re from he said, “If I had known you guys were from Alaska I’d have just made chicken!”
I live on Cape Cod and work at a seafood restaurant. I LOVE lobster and lobster rolls. But I cannot believe people still buy them at these prices. We are a little bit better than the restaurant seen here. It's 5 oz for 30$ . I have a few buddies that have licenses for lobster. It can be absolutely cutthroat though. They have had traps and pots stolen, lines cut, all sorts of thievery.
Normally you can expect to pay a little more for half of the seafood on maket, due to the fact it a wild caught food. It not mass produced on land from large livestock or crops like standard meats and vegetables are. The only seafoods i know of that is possible to produce with little effort on land or on shore in large amounts, is shrimp and standard store brought pink salmon. Commercial pot fishing for lobster and crab for an example, take a lot of laborious and dangerous work. Plus much like deer and game bird hunting, there conservation regulations that have to be adhere to. Like the time of year they can fish, how and where they can fish, and the size/age of the take. This is mostly why the price.
Wow, working in a seafood restaurant on Cape Cod must give you a unique perspective on the lobster industry! It’s crazy how competitive it can get out there. Do you have a favorite way to serve lobster at your restaurant?
@@processarea91 My personal favorite is the classic lobster roll. Lightly sauteed in butter served in a toasted New England Style hot dog bun (that just means split on the top as opposed to the side) with one piece of Iceberg Lettuce. Some prefer it tossed in mayonnaise but I'm allergic. But either way, with some fries or Onion rings and a small cup of fresh clam chowder. That is the best lunch you can have. The only problem, it's becoming almost cost prohibitive. That meal will run you 25-30$at any spot on Cape. If you like seafood, get some friends and your best bet is to get a traditional Cape Cod Clam boil. There are plenty of places that will do it for you. It consists of a bunch of steamers (steamed little neck clams) corn on the cob, carrots, onions, potatoes, linguica or chorizo (mildly spicy Portuguese sausage) and steamed lobster. It is served with a cup of melted butter, Cole slaw and usually a cup of the "broth" the clams were steamed in. There are places that will do it for 20 bucks a person. Were the minimum of six to eight people. But it's worth it.
@@processarea91 but the coolest part instant relationship we have with our seafood suppliers. I mean, I personally know the guys on the boat. I know the path the seafood takes from the ocean to the table. It doesn't go to any kind of processing plant. You really can't get much fresher than that. And it is competitive but there is a long long long standing tradition and families who have been doing it for generations. And everyone kind of respects that.
The one about the eels put me off a bit. That kilo of babies would make a ton of adult eels (which are still expensive). It's a bit like asking for lark's tongues or some other frou frou dish. Yes, we get that you're rich, but can you stop killing the future to prove it?
Baby eels of this genus are called elvers. As a child brought up near the River Severn in the UK they were a staple food source, but now correctly protected, as is the fishing rights.
@@abbersj2935initialy elvers and younger eels were considered separate species from the european eel which led to a lot of misconceptions on them as well. But yes part of the problem is that we see so may of something and thing that that gives us a right to take as much as possible when focus on enough is helper doesn’t help that it can be hard especially when it is one of your staple foods to not get too much and keep as for later as possible
Nah, I stopped buying restaurant Lobster Rolls when they went over $20 for 6oz Lobster Roll. They had a record harvest in 2017 and STILL RAISED PRICES!! At $34 for a 4oz Lobster Roll, they can ALL go out of business for all I care!! I'll keep catching them myself.
Very few country can produce real stock-fish because it requires a particular climate while salt fish is now produced even in China and South America. Norway is loosing markets due to higher prices
Ed's Lobster Rolls is raking in cash. He's getting each lobster for probably $8, and it takes only one lobster to make a roll, which he charges $34 for. $26 profit on 150 a night is almost 4 grand. I sell crack and even I don't see profits like that!
@@ExecratedPlaysGamingwould it surprise you to learn ed also sells Crack! You need to add the to his income but he also makes it himself so he had to buy Columbian coke.... gotta spend money to make money.
Please, it's not global warming. It's sending local foods abroad for people who will pay. This is easy, keep your fish for local people to feed them, and make the price for anyone else 10 times the price. And that's the way it is. This is International stuff, and International co-operation and severe enforcement by absolutely everyone, this will never get resolved. These fish will be killed off, and I don't blame the people on the bottom, I blame the stupidity of people that have more weight on their cravings than the good of everyone. There are enough people that will pay for a 3000 dollar meal, that the problem lies within hubris, and self interest. Eat foods close to home. Limit luxury to occasional treat, and stop making occasions up, like Blue Fin Tuesday.
Back in the days of the American colonies, lobsters (then, bycatch, meaning things that were caught while you were fishing for something else) were used to feed servants. There's a document where servants petitioned to be fed lobster no more than three times per week.
I wouldn't want to eat lobster every day either. Lobster is overrated in my opinion. Crab legs are leagues above in taste. But they are both bottom feeders; they build their mass from decaying sea life ( and whatever humans dump in the ocean or harbor)
Prisoners were also fed lobster. It was a junk food back then. I'm sure their thinking was "We caught them and since every penny counts, if we can sell them for almost any price our profits will increase."
This video is a bit misleading giving the impression that almost all of the export of stock fish from Norway goes to Nigeria. In the first quarter this year, Norway exported 1100 metric tons, and of that, 720 metric tons went to Italy, and the remainder went mostly to Nigeria and Croatia.
While I understood them to say Nigeria bought all their stockfish from Norway, instead of spreading their purchases among more sellers, and Norway was happy to supply stockfish to an entire country.
I see a lot of that happening in commercial fishing videos. Talking about one fish, show a different fish. I guess to the editor, a fish is a fish. Reminds me of when anti-gun types talk about guns. They haven't a clue what they are talking about.
Shellfish, like spidercrabs, lobster etc. used to be poor man's food in Galicia in NW Spain not that long ago. It was plentiful but did not adapt to traditional preservation methods (salting and drying) so it was of no use. Oysters had a bit more demand because they were lightly fried and pickled.
Living in Vancouver by the docks is amazing, It's still crazy, insane, expensive, but the difference is how fresh it is. This with spot prawn season and just the amazing dungarees crab we have here is mind-blowing. Like the Chinese and or Japanese variety of seafood dishes. Here are so unbelievably good. I've traveled all over the world and every time I'm away I can't wait to come home to have a better version of wherever I travel to, but at home because the fresher ingredients. Vancouver is insanely expensive and I can't help but think we are on the decline of how amazing a city it was until the real estate developers destroyed it, but it's still pretty awesome
Good chefs cull a lobster with a cut through the brain right before cooking it No fine conciable chef boils them alive head first it is frowned upon today. Besides: they are kept and chilled and that stab only takes a sec.
Ummmmmm. I'm guessing you've never worked the line in a restaurant... Your concerns for that timed dish's last 1 second of life is of no concern to people moving as fast as they can...
Do not be mislead by the name, “American Lobster.” America has several species of lobster, and each is very different. The sweet, clean, and coveted lobster here in New England (Maine, in particular) bears little resemblance to the inferior spiny or rock lobster found lower down the east and gulf coasts. Maine lobster per se is actually greatly undervalued (less than $13/in-shell pound, but depends on total weight) when compared to today’s inflated deli meat ($19/lb for Boar’s Head roast beef) and even run-of-the-mill steak! What IS ferociously expensive is the perishable shipping and ice-packing required to send our lobsters any distance. Another background cost is the new and outrageous regulation that has shut down much of the New England lobster fishing, under the guise of protecting other species - whales. Canada has swept into US territorial waters (!) to steal as much as they can. And despite outrage by our lobstermen, the Biden administration has taken a blind eye so as not to upset Trudeau.
Honestly I wouldn’t blame the regulations but how people try to exploit it. Sure lose some fisheries but the main goal is to make lobster a staple food source doesn’t work if most lobsters are being harvested everytime they are caught
herring will have no impact on the lobster prices or will have very little. They eat scraps from any fish and all the lobster fisherman i know use maceral mostly but a lot of the charter boats and the fisheries for haddock, pollock and other white fish we have around here, lots of scraps from that get used for lobster bait. i personally have 5 traps myself and i just use the scraps from when i fish for the bait but you can also you a ham steak or even the scraps from when you eat lobsters. basically herring is just one of the many things used for lobster bait.
Salmon always make me think of vikings of Norway........ Viking fractions always command a lot of respect to be able to fight the waves and strikes fear in Europe
how to corner the alaskan king crab market: get a massive cargo ship sized boat to set pots. sell the pots to the fishermen and charge them a redemption fee that they can get back when the pot is returned.
A lobster roll costs 13 dollars where I live. I’m also on the coast of maine😂. Usually I can flag down a lobster boat and they’ll practically give it to you
I went down to Portland today . I saw them go for $34 a roll because we were on the wharf. I went 2 block inwards and they were $12😂😂. I prefer crabs over lobstah regardless tho.
Hi diana. I have been in the same situation with long covid and developed other immune related diseases after covid. My life was torn appart for over a year but the good news is it can be beaten. I cant believe how i feel now after what i went through but im doing great again and i know you will get there too. Just take it easy keep fighting and have hope and know that it will pass and you will feel good and be able to make awesome videos again. Just takes time. Im rooting for you😊
How could they not include king crab? 4-5 lbs of fresh legs will cost you a few hundred dollars (depends where you live). Edit: Not to mention one of the, if not, best tasting sea foods.
when he says they cook them live, they put them on ice/ freezer first which slows down their metabolism to be basically asleep/ sedated. Here in Australia we have different shellfish, but yeah, I was given some cooked crabs by someone once and the flesh was like mush. They had obviously been dead a few hours before he cooked them. I tried part of one and threw the rest away. Apart from the chance of getting sick, it's also just totally the opposite of what it should be texture wise and its very off putting. We have the "pearl Lobster" here I fear Indo fishermen probably are somewhat lawless when it comes to size, age and whether it's a female with eggs. Not all ofc, but just generally the culture from observation. The fisherman speak of year-round prices, meaning they do not go by seasons. And the initiative to bring the undersize ones to breeders means they still get paid for bringing them in. It's probably the best their government can do to combat it. It's often hard for people that grew up in a kinda village/rural way and knowledge passed down to them on how to hunt and fish the lands to change their ways. Here, it was traditional for natives to hunt turtles. They are now protected but in the very reaches of the wild where natives still practice tradition, it still goes on. And tbh, I'd rather see that kinda core traditions continue rather than a native people get lost in an imposing foreign society that brought to them alcohol and fast food etc. Tradition is dying. One more generation and old ways will be forgotten all together.
I live in Maine and i can kayak out to the lobster barge and buy them from them for 3 bucks a pound!!!! or you can just go buy them from the docks as well for cheap like 5 bucks a pound. people go 1/2 mile inland and pay 14.99lb

I went down to Portland today . I saw them go for $34 a roll because we were on the wharf. I went 2 block inwards and they were $12😂😂. I prefer crabs over lobstah regardless tho.
Depends on the crab @@puttingwarheadsonforeheads9872
Love crab rolls over lobster rolls and Portland is my home.
@@puttingwarheadsonforeheads9872 I'd take Steamed Crabs any day over Lobster.
Not enough commercials.
Is that NRG Ethos big bro or something 10:08
Hi diana. I have been in the same situation with long covid and developed other immune related diseases after covid. My life was torn appart for over a year but the good news is it can be beaten. I cant believe how i feel now after what i went through but im doing great again and i know you will get there too. Just take it easy keep fighting and have hope and know that it will pass and you will feel good and be able to make awesome videos again. Just takes time. Im rooting for you😊
It must not be that hard to catch lobster if they gettin caught everyday 😂😂😂
How could they not include king crab? 4-5 lbs of fresh legs will cost you a few hundred dollars (depends where you live).
Edit: Not to mention one of the, if not, best tasting sea foods.
Never heard of king Crab? King Saloman here in Africa is well known king
@@stravis3269king crab is imported from Alaska so it’s definitely not accessible in a lot of countries unless they pay a really lot of money
Kyle was funny and strangely wholesome even while slaughtering fish and cussing like a… well… a sailor😅
when he says they cook them live, they put them on ice/ freezer first which slows down their metabolism to be basically asleep/ sedated.
Here in Australia we have different shellfish, but yeah, I was given some cooked crabs by someone once and the flesh was like mush. They had obviously been dead a few hours before he cooked them. I tried part of one and threw the rest away. Apart from the chance of getting sick, it's also just totally the opposite of what it should be texture wise and its very off putting.
We have the "pearl Lobster" here I fear Indo fishermen probably are somewhat lawless when it comes to size, age and whether it's a female with eggs. Not all ofc, but just generally the culture from observation. The fisherman speak of year-round prices, meaning they do not go by seasons. And the initiative to bring the undersize ones to breeders means they still get paid for bringing them in. It's probably the best their government can do to combat it. It's often hard for people that grew up in a kinda village/rural way and knowledge passed down to them on how to hunt and fish the lands to change their ways.
Here, it was traditional for natives to hunt turtles. They are now protected but in the very reaches of the wild where natives still practice tradition, it still goes on. And tbh, I'd rather see that kinda core traditions continue rather than a native people get lost in an imposing foreign society that brought to them alcohol and fast food etc. Tradition is dying. One more generation and old ways will be forgotten all together.
Prison food? I’ll go to prison for that. Give me some lobster any day!
The restaurant dude saying you get 4oz out of a 1.5lb lobster is a liar holy shit.. you get at least 8
Depends on how wasteful the chef is honestly. This fellow seems like one of those guys who will happily waste food to make more
In an industry revolving around killing complaints about child labor is stupid AF
Tropical Lobster is much tastier than any claw Lobster.
Wow I live in New England and I think our claw lobster is great man i gotta try tropical lobster
Yeah they’re the best I went spear fishing for them and also got a slipper lobster
Their like giant shrimp 🦐
I had a rainbow lobster before. Costed me just over $400 for a 5 pounder.
I’ll bet that tasted like crap- 🤮
@@judysuprtrkr3423 It was the best lobster I ever had.
Jesus Christ man😭💀
Leave these rare little eels alone. We don't need to eat anything so rare. I certainly won't eat them. I don't eat anything endangered.
No wonder us native people can go fishing so much the so called people down state are eating all of it and some family can’t even feed ourselves
45:02 Post nut clarity goes crazy 😂
don't boil lobster, steam instead in small amount of water, never to go mushy, dead or alive, and ive cooked alot
I agree. Steam Lobster, Blue Crabs, Oysters, Clams, Scallops, etc.
People always repeat that myth of lobsters being prison food. Lobster has always been on the tables of the rich.
Some places maybe but in the American colonies, the local Indians were using lobsters as fertilizer. They were junk to the colonists.
There's less than 40k king salmon left and we are still allowing people to plunder? Wow 😳
Why don't you mention Iceland when talking about Stockfish export? Pretty sure Iceland exports about the same amount of it if not more.
iceland is #7 fish exporter in the world, that is why they are not included in the video.
specifically stockfish.@@bck187
local fravor for fish that comes from 1000's of miles a way: stockfish
You should try Fiji lobsters.
No one wants something untill someone makes it into something.
I have no clue why someone would pay $38 for a 4 oz lobster roll lol in my opinion lobster isn’t even that great. I’d rather have crab legs
Likewise.
I live in Maine and i can kayak out to the lobster barge and buy them from them for 3 bucks a pound!!!! or you can just go buy them from the docks as well for cheap like 5 bucks a pound. people go 1/2 mile inland and pay 14.99lb
Yet another replayed video just bunched up with others we’ve already seen.
lol, you just boiling it with that band on?
why? you have dumped wastes of all types in sea
You have dumped wastes...???? Stepping away from any fault, I see. I suppose you bury all your waste in your back yard.
$250,000 for a permit 😮 The government is ridiculous
Nigerian imported 8.9 million dollars worth of stock fish in 2015.
I thought that was about half a day sales revenue in tsukiji market.😂
