Seafood of the 'rich' is cheaper than ever, sold everywhere
Lobster, salmon, snails, etc. are considered “rich people’s” seafood because of their high prices. However, recently, these items have become cheaper than ever, flooding sidewalks and markets because restaurants and eateries are closed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Earlier this year, when the Covid-19 pandemic broke out in our country, many seafood products saw their prices plummet due to the inability to export to the Chinese market. However, prices recovered shortly after as the market of 1.4 billion people gradually opened up.
