- davidw 10y agoGood steaks are more expensive than chuck, too. And yet people consume both.
- Alupis 10y agoFew people eat steaks every night, let alone good cuts of steak.
- davidw 10y agoAnd yet... you can get them in stores. That's kind of the whole point. Not everyone in Italy eats clams or octopus or whatever every night either.
- lotharbot 10y agoThis has a lot to do with the fact that a cow is a whole animal. If you raise one to sell the chuck, you also get T-bones and ribeyes and tri-tips and flank steaks and so on. Most of that goes into the same retail pipeline, so availability is correlated. On the other hand, expensive fish aren't usually a byproduct of producing cheap fish, nor vice versa.
- brianwawok 10y agoWhole foods has a decent selection of fish. Real salmon is like $20 a pound though.
