Good morning

I ran across this earlier this morning. It gives some perspective on the high price of lobster. Lobster Is So Expensive Now That Restaurants Are Taking It Off Menus (washingtonian.com)

Good afternoon

Red Lobster is very expensive. Most of the restaurants have raised their prices so much so that it's no longer reasonable to have an evening out. I too grew up in an area where crustaceans were plentiful. We used to take our filled crab cages and have a real feast for next to nothing. Now crab legs are $17-$20 per pound.

We used to see crayfish in the creek where we swam as kids.

They lived in the shallows and the big ones were about 3 or 4" long. Some people used them for bait to catch salmon - they went ocean fishing or into the Columbia River, at the Washington-Oregon border during the brief fishing season.

Watching the Australian cooking shows, I have seen so many kinds of crustaceans we don't have here! Moreton bugs looked very interesting. I had no idea your crayfish got so big!

A favorite Kansas City place to go to eat for Me, Stephen, Phil, and Aunt Nila to go together.  We all love it.  I hope those unhappy changes are not happening here and will be the way it is for our next visit.  Wouldn't mind the prices going up a little as long as the food is still good.

Good Afternoon

I think Red Lobster's prices have really gone up over the past couple of years.  My daughter took me there for my birthday and I couldn't believe how much the bill was.
