Perhaps its me but I'm always "confused" by one issue when it comes to lobster bait:
Every spring, Nova Scotia nets millions of pounds of caplin (a herring-family fish) for the purpose of extracting the roe for the Japanese market. The rest of the fish (and we're talking serious tonnage here) are disposed of in landfills. Why doesn't Ark and other lobster bait suppliers simply send up empty bait barrels and salt to get a free source of bait (only a trucking cost) that is otherwise wasted?...........JC |
