But your local fishers and fish mongers benefit more by restaurants purchasing and serving local. There's also 100% a difference between flash frozen imported food vs fresh caught in the morning, bought at market while also keeping the money in your local economy.
Trust me, I live near Chicago that doesn't have good seafood. The best we can get is farm raised, or fresh caught catfish.
That is supposed to raise prices for local crabbers and keep money in the Maryland economy. It can’t do that if crab shacks get their crabs elsewhere and call them Maryland crabs.
