FOX Business' Kelly O'Grady on rising fish prices and its impact on small businesses.

Red Lobster, a dining restaurant chain based in Florida that specializes in seafood, has expanded its operations all across the world in countries including Japan, Ecuador, China, Mexico and others. Founded in 1968 by businessmen Bill Darden and Charley Woodsby, the first store originally went by the name "Harbor for Seafood Lovers" and operated in Lakeland, Florida. Under new ownership two years later, the brand quickly grew all across North America by the 1980s. 

The company has a large menu that specializes in a variety of seafood, but it also specializes in other casual American dining options, such as Italian pasta, steak, chicken and dessert. 

Every year, Red Lobster offers a popular promotion among guests called "Ultimate Endless Shrimp." The seafood giant provides a wide arrange of discounted shrimp-related entrées and other items. 

When does endless shrimp end in 2022?

For 2022, Red Lobster began the endless shrimp promotion on Sept. 6 and will end the deal on Sunday, Nov. 6. There are five entrée meals, including the Parmesan Bacon Shrimp Scampi, the Argentine Red Shrimp, the Shrimp Linguini Alfredo, Walt's Favorite Shrimp and the Garlic Shrimp Scampi.

"Ultimate Endless Shrimp is a fun, guest-favorite promotion that has become an annual tradition for many. From friendly family competitions to see who can eat the most shrimp, to those who love the freedom to try new flavors and preparations, to those who simply love the ability to enjoy their favorite shrimp dishes endlessly, we can't wait to see all the ways our guests celebrate this event with us this year," said Patty Trevino, Red Lobster chief marketing executive. 

Upon the release, Red Lobster noted that prices for meals might be higher in certain states such as California, Hawaii, Minnesota, Oregon, Washington, Illinois, Nevada, New York and some locations in Arizona. Moreover, guests ordering their endless shrimp menu options to-go are allowed to "mix and match four shrimp preparations plus a choice of side and Cheddar Bay Biscuits."

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.

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.
