You all know my passion for buying local. This hits really close to home- my family is very affected by this. I grew up spending summers in Kouchibouguac. Please, buy local- no Maine lobster. Fishermen can not survive with the rising price of gas- at 2 bucks a pound. Decades ago it was 7- how can it now be 2? If you dont buy local anything- please buy local lobster as this would be the end to a proud Canadian industry as we know it.
