Go to an independent fishmonger and you'll probably find LJs for $8/kg that are every bit as delicious as a flathead.

price Gone up cos of the long weekend
Its the usual price rise around any longweekend/holiday period
Has nothing to do with the supply available in ppb.

$50 a kilo that's ridiculous money. Might have to start selling my catch.
