Cod over $30 per pound?

Reever · ‎03-14-2010

Was anyone else shocked by the price of the Egg Harbor Cod being sold today? Shame on Rastelli for pricing cod at such an outlandish price. I am completely locked out of the because it's is price prohibitive. Such a shame watching inflation cripple us. I fear for the younger generation. How can they possibly match our standard of living? The younger people are not going to lead the same life as Boomers.

Even if it was $4.00 a pound you would still complain.

Rastelli has left me without orders twice, there will not be a third time, as soon as they come on I change the channel. That is highway robbery, I just bought wild caught cod fillets and paid $8.59 a pound.

@Reever How much do you think it should cost to import a refrigerated product from overseas then deliver it frozen by air? I'm not surprised by the cost but am not a fish fan so the cost is a moot issue for me.

@Reever: I completely agree with your post. I've been concerned for a long time and discontinued considering any of these brands when they began down sizing their portions. When I want fresh fish and seafood I buy locally. Sadly, I have had to stop fretting about my grandkids and now recently my great grandchild's standard of living and focus on my best interests. Today's prices are really beginning to take a toll on my financial security and it's very important that I maintain my own lifestyle. I live alone and want to keep it that way.

Unless a person lives a great distance from stores I continue to not understand why anyone would order food from TV?

Having said that, many times fish is now more expensive than meat!

The shipping is what adds so much to the cost....and fish is a LOT more delicate than most meat flesh.

Rastelli always brags they age thier meat 28 days ( I THINK they mean 28 years..it's so TOUGH)..

If you did that with most fish, it'd be completely dissolved. ( rotted away).

Styrofoam boxes are made with oil,( styrene) and the shipping costs, which we KNOW are outrageous, to get the stuff to you in a condition you can still eat it.

Next time you're in the Post Office,ask them how much to guarantee to ship a frozen package to arrive in two days.

Cod and salmon and most fish is a LOT cheaper in the store....price it and see!

I bought seafood from an online company two months ago. I believe the shipping was over $50. That is incorporated into the price you see from companies with free shipping.

No one needs to know or understand or agree with why some order things online. Everyone has their own reasons for everything they buy. No right, no wrong, no judgement necessary.

No prices amaze me anymore...inflation is a reality. I recognize what is happening, but I don't allow it to destroy my equanimity or my family's peace of mind. And, of course, the relentless spending will affect the future economy as well as our current debacle.
