And her question of looking for a country of 1.5billion is a bit silly, you don't need a country that big or there's be no market here in the US.
I had no idea we exported that much lobster to China. It's not a good story for the wholesalers at all.

We exported 1.3 billion dollars worth of seafood to China last year, Canada is currently very happy with Trump about this part of the tariffs, combined with the difference in exchange rate (a byproduct of our GREAT economy) Canadian lobster is much less expensive than US.
