My dad grew up in rural Bangladesh. He once told me that when he was young, lobster was a common food in villages. Overseas demand hadn't yet picked up, so the plentiful catch was food for the locals. Today of course, all that lobster gets shipped overseas, and the locals can't afford to eat it. At least they can take solace in the fact that the market is allocating scarce lobsters to those who value them the most.
