Butter Up, Bug!

- Tasty!
Lobster prices are so low you can now afford to see them on your plate, as well as your dive. Due to successful conservation efforts, fishermen (lobsterpeople?) are witnessing record catches of the tasty crustaceans, who are multiplying faster than sea hares. But while supply is clawing its way to an all-time high, demand is falling faster than an unlatched weight belt. Economic challenges are squeezing a lemon over eating out and ordering high-priced meals. In addition, many companies that used to flash-freeze the snacks for transport and future use have reduced production or crawled out of business altogether. Butter up, bug!
