Market Updates:
Scallop:
Over 60% of the expected 63M lbs has been harvest season to date. Prices have been fairly consistent throughout the summer, but are expected to firm in Q4 due to weather, reduced fishing and holiday demand.
Lobsters:
There is a shortage on live lobsters stemming from lower catches over the summer and a lackluster catch in September and so far in October. Firm shell prices have gone up and are currently unstable. Low supply and high demand continues to put pressure on shore prices which continue to firm. Tail prices continue to firm slowly and inventory is expected to run out well before the Spring season. Meat inventory is very low and prices are expected to firm by dollars per pound. And Hurricane Dorian has devastated warm water tail production in the Bahamas, adding to the shortage.
