Atlantic and Alaskan, and loads of Shrimp. But none of the northern Atlantic catch probably supplied by Norwegian and other European companies. No cod, haddock, halibut, steelhead, fresh sardines, tuna. So retailers are not willing to pay up and take the risk of things not selling because they won't sell. Americans gonna pinch like it's 1933.
