Most mom n pop shops will give you a better deal most of those chains have a policy not to take in fish and if they do it will be way less than what your thinking..
I agree, I would rather see the privately owned store make a few bucks than a big chain. I like to support them as much as possible.
At this point.... I think just getting rid of them will be the hard part, we have 2 broods in the last 6 weeks, 31 from the first, and looks like close to 40 from the second.:help: So, IDK...
