One of the workers at AI told me that the yellow heads would probably go for 60-70 bucks .

I was at Big Al's an hour ago and they have a couple of jawfish left. They weren't yellowheads, but at 26 bucks a pop, I'm not going to complain. They labelled them as "Giant Jawfish" but after some searching, they definately aren't giant jawfish... maybe a variety of dusky.

Thanks for telling us Cindy!

I seen a baby yellowheaded jaw fish at Koi's Fish Store here in Edmonton. Did you know they have Salt? Very little. Anyway the jawfish was only $39.99! I was so wanting to him but he was already sold. Bummer!

thats only cause your in B.C. Jawfish down here are always at high demand and are usually ALWAYS expensive. Crazy hey! I know...

When I was in B.C my eyes poped out, I wanted to buy tons of fish and bring them back the different was SO much cheaper then here.

What some people seem to forget is that when saltwater shipments come in from Indonesia, Phillipines, Hawaii, etc. they go through Vancouver first (Because Vancouver is a major port). To get them anywhere outside of Vancouver they have to be put on another plane and shipped there. That means there will be additional shipping and handling charges as well as the possibility of more DOA, hence the higher prices. Please take this into consideration before jumping the gun and thinking the local stores are out to jab you.....
