Outside buyers driving up the prices by demand.

>>7344547
Lake perch has been so over fished the supply < demand

>>7344547
Ocean perch are not truly perch. They're a species of bass IIRC, and the big price difference is a result of that and the fact that mass-fishing in a lake setting is more difficult than on the ocean.

Also lake perch taste a lot nicer.

>>7344547
there are countless amounts of fish coming out of the ocean, unless the lake is farmed really well they will have a much lower supply.

Ocean=big
Lake=small

Big=more
Small=less

>>7344547

You will work for your entire life and then just after you retire you will die, the government has sprayed just enough chemtrails into the environment to keep you paying tax until you drop.

>>7344602
Spend $100 on a half way decent rod and reel, get some bait and go catch fish off a dock, spent my childhood doing it and you can too.

>>7344612
>fish off a dock

No way, full of blacks and mexicans

What side of Lake Erie? Never seen commercial perch fishing on the American side, so proximity isn't going to affect price much. Beyond that, it's likely going to boil down to which is better, on average, and supply & demand.

Comparing the two is also fairly arbitrary, because like another anon said, they're unrelated species. "Ocean perch" were called redfish or rockfish, and they kinda suck, so marketers started calling them perch, which don't suck, early last century. Enough tools were more likely to buy them under the fraudulent name that it stuck around and eventually got the government's seal of approval as nonfraudulent.

>"Ocean perch" were called redfish or rockfish,
Why the hell?
Redfish can be red snapper, but it is usually red drum or puppy drum.
Rockfish is striped bass or freshwater "striper" in salt water.

I know canadia has got good fishing, but apparently completely different jargon.

I live in Florida and seafood is still crazy expensive. Its cheaper to buy pre packaged shrimp from Asia then to buy the shrimp that are fished just a few miles from where I live.
