Doug,
I'm just coming back from LA and I can tell ya there's no high quality Max for less than a 3 digit number , sometimes it get to 200+ and even much more.
When it comes to A Blue Squamie, I think they'll be more expensive.
In Germany I never saw anything more spectacular than an Ultra Max, and the prices varied, they were cheaper than the states.
In Hong Kong they will pay US$1000 to US$5000 for a fish, but their clams are very cheap compare to America, possibly due to lower freight charges, but it also got alot to do for the fact that in HK, they are working ona very low profit and are based on high turn over.
