Fishery/Hatchery in PE area.

You can buy trout in any just about every pick 'n pay in Gauteng, Woolworths definitely stocks it as do most decent fish mongers and supermarkets.

Prices range from about R50 upwards depending on whether you want it smoked, filleted, de-boned or whole. Go look in the fish section of your local p n p you'll be surprised.

Obviously when you are in a trout area like the Quad in Mpumalanga you can buy it everywhere, even the garage shops sell trout pies.

You also don't have to hit the larny eateries to find it on a menu.

You are right about availability Byron, freely obtainable in the stores you mentioned here in P.E. Very pricy though, prices compare to salmon imported from Alaska etc. Filleted and deboned will cost you more or less R 165.00 kg.

As far as I know, Outenique trout lodge supplies our area.

Maybe if we had a local supplier, or competition the prices would be more realistic.

I think the price of 165.00KG is for sliced smoked trout.......we buy whole trout for the restaurants and i am paying about R70.00kg

Labour to service your car R 240.00 per hour for a grease monkey that has no trade papers and is paid R 30.00/hr.
A chef who has trained, got papers, trained , got more papers, and worked his way to the top, gets paid??? I have no idea.
A plumber charges you R500.00 to just set foot on your stinking, sh!t soaked premises.
You pay over R6.00 for a litre of milk, the farmer gets R 2.50.

Welcome to the real world

I wish it was that simple...............i explained in another thread about food cost of sales and was lynched.......are over heads are worked into the menu costs, wages,gas,electric,crockery,ect ect, most restaurants have a mark up of about 300% the higher your over heads the more you charge, it does not matter what the product cost, some items its more others its less........we basically buy it for R1 and sell it for R3.

Anyway the only person buyibg the Yacht are the dogs that own the company....on the salary they pay me i might buy an ark
