Hey guys I came across the company open ocean trading. Im not sure if many people have heard of it. Its been out for a year. The whole business model behind it is they set up buyers with fishermen and predetermine prices for fish and lobsters. So if im going out fishing tomorrow and i think i might get 100 lbs of fish I would go on the site and set up a contract with someone. Basically I would be pre selling my fish.. Its a cool idea, but i dont know how this would even work. Its obviously to benefit fishermen which is a great cause but no buyer is willing to pay more for the same product. they say they are trying to target under utilized species and that part makes sense.. dogfish ect.. but whos gonna eat a dog? I mean my opinion on dog fish is skewed because of how shitty they are just in general.. I dont know.. what are your thoughts?
