Re: Fresh seafood cost in Auckland
Can only give you Wellington prices - lobster aka crayfish about $40/kilo, oysters $10-15 dozen, depending on type - out of shell scallops $7 dozen - live green lipped mussels $3/kilo - pre frozen king prawns $10/kilo - 200g smoked salmon $9-15 - fresh salmon $18-22/kilo - firm white fish from $8/kilo for warehou/trevally to $20/kilo for groper/snapper. Haven't seen fresh tuna for a while - maybe out of season.
