Are halibut, and/or the people that fish for them going extinct? $25 USD a pound for the stuff at the local grocery store (not the expensive one), seems rather daft. No doubt, it may cost even more at the fish market. Seems like the price of this fish is spiking, and I haven't a clue as to why. I guess I won't be eating it anytime soon, unless I can go and catch/shoot my own. What's it run in your town/city? |

Price is an almost 100% guide to scarcity and also quality.
A greengrocer at a local market told me that.
As an example, green beans are expensive in the winter, and not very good.
In the summer they're cheap and very good. |

Because it's the price you'll pay on impulse, or "just for the halibut."

Are bad puns a DH offense? |

By the way, is halibut good tasting? I don't think I've ever had any. |

It is quite firm, and delicious. Excellent fried. |

Overfished.
Declining stocks.
Inability to be successfully farmed. And yes, it's delicious. |

Are halibut, and/or the people that fish for them going extinct? Yes, since they are being over fished just like many other types of fish. China
Japan
Korea All have huge fishing fleets that will travel to other parts of the world to catch fish. |
