[QUOTE="Paddledogger, post: 171021, member: 2876"] First off, yes, I'm sure G & F wants to have the cleaning to track the quota # for the year. Even in the past years, they try to stop it at 900 at the cleaning station because they believe 10% of the fisherman clean their own, which I believe it is more like 5% or maybe less. I do have a problem with North star Caviar announcing this 2 to 3 weeks before the season, forcing G & F into this situation. They have a product/resource that they get FREE, process it, put it in a cooler/freezer at 29° and wait for the orders to come in on a plain an generic website that has not been improved much for the past 8-10 years. You just can't tell me that with the average pounds of caviar they would receive out of a moderate female that you can't make some sort of profit. Here's my math: Say 500 females are caught in North Dakota alone and they process about 8# of good caviar on average. That comes out to 4000 pounds of caviar. I see the price list isn't on their website no more, so now you have to call (I heard they were asking $100/ounce). But let's just say they ask for $85/ounce. 16 ounces X $85=$1360/lb. So then 4000 lbs. of caviar at $1360/lb. = $5,440,000. Now, what I don't know if their true expense during the season, processing cost, utilities, building space and office/sales staffing. So, I am concerned that they will just see part of this resource go into the garbage. If I am really missing something here....can someone please explain it to me. Time to pack up and make the venture up. Good luck to everyone going up this year. All I ask is that when you go up on catch and keep days that you take your meat and eat it. Many people don't like the taste, but I do suggest that you try to eat it within a couple months. It does get a taste in the freezer in a short period of time. FISH ON!!!! #$%^&> [/QUOTE]
