Luke's promotes lobster for white elephant gifts; Fresh Market touts New Year's seafood platters - SeafoodSource

Jumping on a social media trend, Saco, Maine, U.S.A.-based Luke's Lobster is promoting its lobster as a perfect gift for a white elephant holiday gift exchange.

Luke's Lobster recently began selling a Live Lobster White Elephant Kit on its website after a TikTok video featuring a family white elephant swap involving a live lobster went viral. The video has more than 651,000 likes to date and served as inspiration for the White Elephant Kit, according to Luke's Vice President of Marketing Meaghan Dillon.

"We can't think of a better white elephant gift than some feisty Maine lobsters, so we had to jump in on this viral moment," Dillon told SeafoodSource.

The limited-time package includes two lobsters nestled in a "ready-to-wow cooler with a festive ribbon – perfect for surprising friends and family this holiday," a spokesperson for Luke's said. The last day to place an order to ensure the White Elephant gift for a pre-Christmas arrival was 20 December, but the kit will remain available to order after that.

Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.A.-based Legal Sea Foods is also touting three new lobster boxes for "your holiday table or those last-minute holiday gifts," the company said in an email to customers. The boxes include The Lobster Tail Box, The Grilling Feast Box, and the Filet Mignon & Lobster Tail Kit.

Additionally, the Maine Lobster Marketing Collaborative (MLMC) is touting specials from numerous lobster sellers through its 2023 gift guide.

Meanwhile, The Fresh Market in Greensboro, North Carolina, U.S.A., is offering a wide selection of party platters and brunch meals for pre-order to "help make meal planning for the week between Christmas and New Year's a breeze and to help ring in the new year with style and ease," the company said in a press release.

New to its platters this year, The Fresh Market is selling Mini Maryland Crab Cake, Mini Ultimate Crab Cake, and Mini Wild Salmon Cake Platters.

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.
