Oysters today
Wage and price haggles kept seven of the 23 boats in the Bluff oyster fleet tied up - when the 1982 season opened yesterday: Some sacks of oysters were still expected to arrive in Christchurch today, but a price was unlikely to be set until after discussions among fish' retailers at this morning’s fish market, said the president of the Christchurch
Fish Retailers’ Association (Mr Barry Mather). Last season — the. first for several years which started without an industrial hitch — oysters went on sale in Christchurch for $1.60 a dozen, 30c cheaper than in Invercargill. They are expected to cost up to 20c a dozen more this season. ,• Oyster openers, boat owners and operators, and oyster merchants are expected to meet today to try to sort out differences over prices and wages.
