PRAWN season opens on May 6 at 12 noon. There is lots of activity at Fisherman’s Wharf as the boats scramble to get their gear in order. We hope to have some live prawns for sale aboard the Hi-Gear this weekend.  It is not clear what the shore price will be at this point but we should know by Friday.
CRAB fishing has been a real challenge for the south island boats for the last 8 days. Strong westerly winds have kept some boats from venturing out. The high shore price has fishermen looking for any window to sneak out and haul gear.
The one week minimum soak rule came off on April 15th and as a result prices dipped briefly but are now headed back up due to limited supply of crab and fishable days to catch them.
LOBSTER has opened in Atlantic Canada. It is a good time for the consumer to buy lobster as there is an oversupply and prices are reasonable. Call for a market price for any of these three products.
