I arrived in Kingston SE, ran here to avoid a couple of days over 40 degrees in W Victoria.
As usual, I hit the local fish shop , and was told crays are $106/kg, average size is 1kg. Last year at the same venue they were $80/kg...that's a 33% increase.
I thought we might as well go to the restaurant for that price..so went to the corner Motel/restaurant where 'seasonal prices' turned out to be 'whatever we pay for them across the road, plus $30 per plate'. That would make it $166 for two 1/2 serves of crayfish and salad. Think we might have to go and check out the co-op in Robe as these prices are getting ridiculous.
I noticed that over Christmas the major supermarkets sold Western Australian (Geraldton) warm water crays for $45/kg...which is more that Geralton crays are worth. IGA was selling Californian Rock Lobster for $25 each (about $33 per kg).
Do you have any local knowledge Bruce??

Re: Crayfish pricing
36 degrees in Kingston SE Tomorrow, then 29....Cool
Bruce just arrived, departed , returned....I can only recommend that everybody should visit Kingston SE. Hospitality is No.1, and it's not IF Bruce will help you, just a matter of how he will help you.
He did say I gave him a hard time on this Forum.....Gee Dot, I thought you did that
