Captain D’s launches lobster menu for limited time - SeafoodSource

Despite higher lobster prices over the past two years, Captain D's is the latest restaurant chain to feature the shellfish on limited-time menus.

Earlier this summer, Red Lobster launched a variety of lobster and shrimp dishes for its Summerfest promotion.

Now Nashville, Tennessee, U.S.A.-based Captain D's, which operates more than 530 restaurants, has brought back its limited-time Lobster Feast menu as of 30 July.

The dishes comprising the menu – made with North Atlantic lobster – include: Lobster Bites, Lobster Scampi, Lobster Bisque, and North Atlantic Lobster Rolls.

While Jason Henderson, vice president of product innovation for Captain D's, declined to say where the restaurant chain sources its lobster, he told SeafoodSource that it is the "number-one primary ingredient – even when blended with other seafood. We have an outstanding purchasing team that gets us some of the best pricing in the world for our seafood (including lobster)."

The lobster dishes are also offered at an affordable price, according to Bob Kraut, chief marketing officer at Captain D's. For example, the restaurant chain is offering two lobster rolls for USD 3.69 (EUR 3.16).

"Customers continuously ask us when we are bringing lobster back to our restaurants," Kraut said.

Meanwhile, Captain D's Lobster Bites entree includes six pieces of North Atlantic Lobster Bites, served with Batter Dipped Fish and three Butterfly Shrimp. It is served with two sides and hush puppies. 

The Lobster Scampi features North Atlantic lobster served in a creamy garlic butter sauce over pasta, with a choice of side and breadstick. The new creamy lobster bisque is served in two sizes.

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post Posted: 05 Jun 2016 12:00 AM PDT With exacting precision, the surgeon inserted the scalpel above the eyeball and cut out a snotty deposit of fatty tissue. The routine eye-lift was nearly complete when suddenly the patient awoke, suffocating, and began to flop about on the table. The audience gasped. Knowing time was of the essence, the surgeon scooped up the patient in his arms, raced across the stage, and dropped her into a tank of water. She revived. Because she was a fish. Yes, fish eye-lifts exist. As do fin jobs and tail tucks. The operating theater was a mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, where a pet expo was under way. As for the patient, she survived, her formerly droopy eyes now bright and perky. A good thing, too, as this was no ordinary goldfish but rather an Asian arowana, the world's most expensive aquarium denizen, rumored to sell for as mu...

Catching Dory: selling aquarium fish supports coastal livelihoods in Indonesia | npj Ocean Sustainability - Nature.com

Abstract The global marine aquarium trade has created new local markets across the planet, including in Indonesia, now the second-largest exporting country of marine aquarium fish in the world. Participating in the global aquarium trade has been touted as a potentially sustainable addition to fisher livelihoods, but scant data exist showing the numbers of fish coming off the reef and how those fish contribute to income. To determine how participants in the trade incorporate aquarium species in their livelihoods, we examine source-level aquarium fish collecting and trading data in the Banggai Archipelago, a region in Central Sulawesi that has become a significant source for popular aquarium, also known as ornamental, fish species. Using a sustainable livelihoods lens, we examine this data to understand how participants in the aquarium trade both contribute to as well as benefit from the trade and consider how their participation relates to emerging Blue Justice principles. From one year...
