A DAY ACROSS THE BORDER
To get in the mood for our trip to Mexico, we went with friends and family across the border to Agua Prieta. We have a favorite seafood restaurant there, La Palapa - and it gave us a chance to change some dollars to pesos.
Our question? Why can you get delicious, fresh fish and shrimp a 15 minute walk across the Mexico border for a very reasonable price... and NO similarly reasonably priced, fresh seafood in Bisbee, Naco or any of the other border towns on the Arizona side of the border??

Great to see the comment working..
ReplyDeleteI guess when the seafood came in to the US border. The cost of doing business (labor, insurance, rent, transport and health inspection) is much higher in the US. The original low price will be add up to the high price.
ReplyDeleteAs is the Dungness crabs, we caught in Oregon seems cheap to nothing but in San Francisco's Fisherman Wharf sell it at $20 a piece and Costco sell it at $3.5 a pound.
What a FUN concept!!!!!!!
