New Wholesale Price Assessments for Snow Crab and Lobster by Undercurrent News

Undercurrent News has expanded its comprehensive coverage of key seafood commodities by introducing weekly US wholesale price assessments for snow crab and both live and frozen lobster. This enhancement comes as the snow crab and lobster seasons in Atlantic Canada gain momentum, resulting in increased product availability in North American markets.

Insights into the New Pricing Platform

Beginning this week, UCN will publish price assessments every Wednesday on its newly developed US wholesale pricing platform. This initiative aims to provide industry stakeholders with timely and precise data. For those who do not yet have access, you can sign up for a week-long trial here.

Focus on Lobster Pricing

In relation to lobsters, UCN is now offering detailed pricing data across various specifications of live product. The platform includes assessments for frozen cold-water and warm-water tails, as well as lobster meat, ensuring a holistic view of the market.

Snow Crab Pricing Updates

When it comes to snow crab, UCN provides assessments for Canadian clusters sourced from Newfoundland and the Gulf of St. Lawrence, as well as for Norwegian products. Notably, Russian crab pricing will be included if and when these products return to the market.

King Crab Pricing Information

Additionally, UCN offers pricing insights into red king crab from both Alaska and Norway, along with golden king crab from Alaska. Similar to snow crab, pricing for Russian red and golden king crab will be reinstated upon their market return to the US.
