The first salmon in Petropavlovsk markets turned out to be biting
On the eve of June 1, Red Putin officially started in the Ust-Kamchatsky district and on the Commander Islands, and today fresh salmon and caviar appeared at the fish markets of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Kamchatka.Today reports.
However, prices send Kamchatka residents into a knockdown. So, fresh sockeye salmon caviar is offered for 9-9.5 thousand rubles per kilogram. A year ago in June, it cost 7-8 thousand.
Chinook salmon sells for 1800 per kilogram, sockeye salmon – 800, chum salmon – 600 rubles, Such prices for fresh delicacies are also not encouraging.
By the way, poachers who reached their homeland ahead of the official deadline also sold chinook at 1800 in mid–May, 300 rubles higher than last year’s prices.
On the first day of big fishing, Ust-Kamchatsky fishermen caught six tons of salmon: about 1 ton of chinook salmon and almost 5 tons of sockeye salmon.
