I just got three suppliers give me a 15% immediate increase. It is getting spooky. I also wonder what the breaking point is. I know an inspector for the PA Dept. of Agriculture and he has seen hundreds of his accounts (restaurants/distributors) close.

I have some background in food sourcing (not seafood) and my advice breh is be VERY CAREFUL who you buy from at this point. When prices run up like this, food fraud gets lucrative and its not just small stuff, you could get mafia type organizations flooding the supply chain with fake shyt. This happened with balsamic vinegar and olive oil a while back in the EU and they had to do heavy testing to weed shyt out.

If you have to change suppliers, vet them heavy. If you are ever suspicious, send some of your product to a lab like Eurofins for authenticity testing:
Seafood and Seafood Product Testing Services - Eurofins USA

Your supplier might not even know they are being duped.

Not too worried about that..We basically have grown enough to sway pricing in the Southeast because we own facilities in New England, Boston and Maine specifically, where we get a large bulk of our supply..scallops, lobsters, squid, octopus, shark, etc..we get that ourselves and ship it between outlets up there and down here. shyt like tuna, some salmon types and other exotic foods we get at port in Miami, we get extensive documentation for anything that comes into port.. It's the main reason why we're stealing business away from the likes of Sysco, US Foods and other retailers with regards to seafood...we can keep up with sourcing for customer demand and maintain high quality.

We just did a deal to supply all of the Ruth Chris's in NC, SC and GA with seafood cause of this primarily. Same thing with Publix and Harris Teeter who only get their lobsters and clams from us..we control everything from fishing it out of the water to processing it for delivery.

Yeah I had the flu. Just getting over it now.

You back to 100%?


Hell no. :mjlol: haven't even ate anything since noon yesterday. Couldn't hold anything down on Saturday. It was bad. :picard: threw up orange juice. Tried to eat tacos soon after and that didn't happen either. slept most of yesterday and now up today. Kind of scared to eat right now. :mjcry: too gassy and stomach is bubbly.

Stay safe out there, man. They talking about flu and covid going a collabo together out here in January. :mjgrin: hopefully this shyt will go away soon enough.

You're a brave man trying to eat tacos

:russ:

All I really ate was some rice and some Graham crackers. Straight water and Gatorade cleaned me up. I covered up in 5 blankets to raise my temperature and it usually helps to break the fever but this one wanted to stick around.

Still haven't broken it but I can keep food down.

Not ready for the covid and flu tag team this year. Its going to be ever-present.

Stop sticking with shyt that’s not good for you. It’s ok not to finish if it’s wrecking your soul and emotions. Miserable because you’re scared to be called a quitter? If you don’t go be a happy quitter. It’s plenty of shyt to finish.

Couldn't help it. Still somewhat in denial about being sick. This covid shyt been some tricky shyt. One minute shyt doesn't feel serious and things are getting better and then the next minute, it's like "covids still in the building". It's serious but been catching up with much needed rest.

And it's too cold out here. That's why folks are getting sick.

I'm getting really tired of these overemotional people not learning how to calm down themselves down and manage their emotions as adults. Seriously.

And if you know you have this issue, don't lie to yourself. Get help while you still can. Don't wait until the police showing up or for yourself to get into a dangerous situation from not learning how to manage your emotions. Nothing wrong with taking anger management classes. Then again, some of you folks act like ya wanna go to jail/ prison anyway. :yeshrug:
Hey... just trying to help those that need it.

with the amount of guns in america, im still in shock that mass shooters arent black people just killing cacs en mass.

youd think the vengeance for slavery, jim crow, and persisting institutional racism would fuel anger and violence towards a cac built system. you'd think cacs would anticipate that and immediately change gun laws to prohibit especially black people from getting them.... but nope. it's almost like cacs are daring black people to do it and black people arent lol
