"If they live by the sea, they eat fish for free" - Prices in Crimea

Sometimes it's free

But only provided that you catch it yourself. The most expensive pleasure, catching pelengas, you will need expensive gear, binoculars and a car. The fish walks in large schools, and you need to find it, which means you can move mobile. Also dig up or buy a sea worm (sold by the piece), on another floating delicacy will not bite. In short, there are many nuances.

Glosik, caught in Azov on hamsa in winter, used to set peremes, now more zakidushki. Very much appreciated in Turkey, I remember, they said that $ 25 per kilo, the Turks even violated the border, they caught it with a net, Successfully getting off it was possible not to work for a whole year. In those years, the border guards did not even have a solarium to refuel their boats, so the neighbors used it.

And here Azov bull will be caught by anyone, bites on anything, large, many varieties, locals love the "gerbil", very much helped out in the difficult 90s. In the spring, when he had zhor, a specific smell was heard from all the kitchens, which could not be confused with anything, then many became fishermen.

Why are these prices?

You can see the Crimean prices for local products. It is especially annoying for the residents of the Far Eastern District when their fish is bought up, processed in the center and returned to their counters at cosmic prices. So much for the fishy land!

I think it's all about the chain of intermediaries and the lack of local production. So it goes!
