Live Maine lobster direct from local fishermen, bait supply
"An Eliot, Maine–based seafood company says a 25 percent Chinese tariff imposed in July has effectively dissolved a once-lucrative export market for live lobsters — a market that saw $128.5 million in U.S. exports to China in 2017 — forcing buyers to look elsewhere and benefiting Canadian competitors. Owner Mark Barlow laments that the trade action has handed the region's lobster industry, valued at roughly $1.5 billion, to Canada, famously quipping, "He’s just handed it to [Prime Minister Justin Trudeau]: ‘Here you go, boys.’" - Chris Fuhrmeister
