Principle of the thing. I don't buy scallops unless I'm down home because the markup on it seem ridiculous (especially since they're usually less fresh and of lesser quality).

I was honestly sort of surprised people didn't know. The collapse of the fishery was so completely devastating to the east coast (where I was born) economy that it's just sort of a given back home that lobster prices are awful, yo

I'm almost 100% sure others will disagree but I'd say start with Unity. The most important thing is getting something small done to give you a taste of what's involved and then you can dig deeper and develop Opinions and ev
