You've always been able to buy them at the fish place behind the servo?

It's just a trial at this stage but a great idea

^^^ The 'joke' started under Minister Norman Moore's leadership. New rules where they can fish any time but have to try and guess when based on what price may be, so don't get your quota too early as price doubles for Chinese New Year and all that crap. Then, on your day off not allowed to catch a dhufish or snapper, or even take a charter out once a year (not even a non-fishing charter) for a few quids.

If they wanna sell all their catch straight off the boat, let them.
But no, Govt wants to protect the export industry..... even though normal folk don't really care if a some rich Singaporean can't pose for his mates with a $200 cray at New Year.
Maybe throw more enforcement resources at the asians pilfering abalone and crays, even bread n butter fish, etc for the local restaurants and just let the pro's run their business.......

Sick to death eating these critters

Big expensive cockroaches of the sea floor. But I agree, if there's a demand for them the fishermen should be allowed to sell them direct off the boat.

Back in the Olden days (1940's), it was a sack of crays for a single rabbit !!
