- More efficient and predictable aquaculture permitting
- Cutting-edge research and development
- Regulatory reform to maximize commercial fishing
- Enforcement of common-sense restrictions on seafood imports that do not meet American standards

Salmon Market
In early December Salmon prices were reported as being 31% higher than a month prior. In addition, the holidays also increased demand and interrupted some harvesting. As a result Salmon prices remain high.
We are staying competitive and bringing in fresh salmon for our customers. (without using a farm raised fish).
Scallops We have also seen an increase in price per lb for wholesale scallops. Third party purveyors are getting 13.99 - 18.99 a Lb for 10/20 Dry day boat scallops. For that reason we felt a need to raise a couple of menu prices and are still competitive as some of our competitors prices are 45% higher than ours for broiled scallops and some maybe 20% cheaper because of the use of a smaller size 20/30 scallop. Regardless if you choose your scallops from Monte's broiled or fried your portion size will be 3/4Lb for 10/20 Size Scallops.
